### Fetching information

| Name              | Type                | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| ----------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `fetch_status`    | `boolean`           | fetch the local changes - defaults to `true`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| `native_fallback` | `boolean`           | when set to `true` and `sl.exe` is not available when inside a WSL2 shared Windows drive, we will fallback to the native sapling executable to fetch data. Not all information can be displayed in this case. Defaults to `false`                                                           |
| `status_formats`  | `map[string]string` | a key, value map allowing to override how individual status items are displayed. For example, `"status_formats": { "Added": "Added: %d" }` will display the added count as `Added: 1` instead of `+1`. See the [Status](#status) section for available overrides. Defaults to an empty map. |
