+The status symbols are similar to the ones used in [spaceship-prompt](https://spaceship-prompt.sh/sections/git/#Git-status-git_status).
 
 To customize these symbols, add a file in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gita/symbols.csv`.

Revised symbols
May I kindly suggest adopting the following symbols:

symbol | meaning
--- | ---
`?` | Untracked changes
`+` | Added changes
`!` | Unstaged files
`»` | Renamed files
`✘` | Deleted files
`$` | Stashed changes
`=` | Unmerged changes
`⇡` | Unpushed changes (ahead of remote branch)
`⇣` | Unpulled changes (behind of remote branch)
`⇕` | Diverged changes (diverged with remote branch)

> _Based on https://spaceship-prompt.sh/sections/git/#Git-status-git_status_

I also believe it would be a great style to enclose them in `[` and `]` as well.

For example:

```
$ gita ll
blog     master   [!?] minor changes (2 weeks ago)
dotfiles master   [! ] update mac colmak ah json (31 minutes ago)
gita     master   [  ] update CN readme and image (35 minutes ago)
repol    feature1 [  ] add readme (50 minutes ago)
worklog  refactor [  ] Update onboard-desmond.m (7 months ago)
