## What it is
A Vim plugin that extends the NERDTree file explorer with git status indicators, showing modified, staged, untracked, and other file states directly in the tree. It supports custom symbols, Nerd Fonts, and vim-devicons integration.

## Use cases
- show git status flags in nerdtree
- see which files are modified in vim file explorer
- display untracked files in vim sidebar
- customize git indicator symbols in nerdtree
- integrate git status with vim-devicons

## When to choose
- you use NERDTree and want inline git status in the file tree
- you want configurable indicators including Nerd Fonts support

## When to avoid
- you use Neovim 0.5+ and prefer the author's newer Yanil plugin
- you don't use NERDTree as your file explorer
- you need a plugin under a conventional license (WTFPL) or actively developed (last release 2021)
