}git machete status, git machete is-managed, and git machete list categories such as managed, unmanaged, and with-overridden-fork-point.Checked existing statuslines, live HeyClaude statuslines, open pull requests, and repository content for git-machete-branch-hygiene-statusline, git-machete, branch hygiene, upstream drift, ahead/behind, and Git status statuslines. The earlier Git upstream drift draft used Git manual sources adjacent to the existing git-status-statusline; this replacement uses git-machete with a different canonical source, branch-layout scope, and value proposition.

| Safety notes | ✓This statusline is read-only and does not run git-machete update, traverse, rebase, push, or pull. Unmanaged branches and fork-point overrides are review cues; inspect git-machete status before changing stacked branches. The compact output intentionally avoids automated branch repair because stacked-branch workflows can rewrite history. | ✓Runs as a Claude Code statusline command on every refresh and depends on the local shell environment; a failure only affects status rendering, not your session. | ✓This is a read-only review aid; inspect the actual diff before committing, rebasing, merging, or discarding files. Frequent statusline refreshes can still run Git status often in large repositories, so use a moderate refresh interval. Treat split staged/dirty state and conflict counts as stop-and-review cues before automated edits. | ✓The default mode does not scan file contents; it only counts sensitive-looking environment files in Git status. Enable recursive git-secrets scanning only in repositories where you are authorized to inspect all files. Scanner mode invokes the git-secrets executable directly and does not fall back to Git aliases. Treat any scan warning as a stop-and-review signal before committing, sharing logs, or opening a PR. |
| Privacy notes | ✓The script prints the current branch name and aggregate branch-layout counts. Branch names can reveal ticket IDs, customers, incidents, or release names in terminal screenshots. It reads local branch layout metadata and does not print commit messages, remote URLs, or file paths. | ✓Reads the Claude Code statusline JSON from stdin (model, workspace path, token usage) and renders it in the local terminal; it does not send data off-machine. | ✓The statusline prints aggregate counts and the branch name, not file paths, diff hunks, or commit messages. Branch names can reveal ticket IDs, customer names, incident labels, or release names in screenshots. The simple-git library shells out to local Git; any custom Git wrappers or hooks are outside this script's control. | ✓The default output prints counts only and does not print filenames or matched values. Recursive scans read repository files and may inspect sensitive local material. Terminal recordings can still reveal that a workspace contains sensitive environment files. |
