Configure your Claude Code statusline to show limits, directory and git info

demo

Install

Run the command below to set it up

npx @kamranahmedse/claude-statusline

It backups your old status line if any and copies the status line script to ~/.claude/statusline.sh and configures your Claude Code settings.

Requirements

  • jq — for parsing JSON
  • curl — for fetching rate limit data
  • git — for branch info

On macOS:

brew install jq

Uninstall

npx @kamranahmedse/claude-statusline --uninstall

If you had a previous statusline, it restores it from the backup. Otherwise it removes the script and cleans up your settings.
