Custom styling instead of `[!!]`, `[ M]`, `[??]`, `[--]` about vim-fern-git-status HOT 6 CLOSED

Actually I am now quite happy with the looks, here is my fern-with-status setup:

Green - staged changes
Red - dirty state

Unfortunately, it's hard coded. https://github.com/lambdalisue/fern-git-status.vim/blob/master/autoload/fern_git_status.vim#L59

This @rafi screenshoot here is interesting (defx on left, fern on the right):

Fern badges are taking up one space, I like the look. I also like the dots in defx left side. I want to replicate that look.

Best regards.

Unfortunately no.

1. Remapping from a git status to a status indicator cost a bit. Remember, the Vim script is slow.
2. There is no reasonable mapping from a git status to a status indicator. Some want only [ M] as dirty but others want [MM] as dirty as well

Thus I don't think adding complexity for that feature pays the cost for that.

Ok, that makes sense.

Would there be a way to remove the braces [] and have just the letters/symbols?
