xline

xline is a small Rust Claude Code Statusline.

• keyboard-driven TUI editor built with ratatui
• starter themes written automatically on first run
• plain, Nerd Font, emoji, and powerline-style rendering
• configurable components for model, directory, worktree, hostname, git, pull requests, native context-window usage, separate five-hour and seven-day Claude rate limits, cost, session, and output style
• worktree-aware identity display with configurable Hide, Show, Branch, or Directory behavior outside worktrees, plus an optional original-branch field
• fresh themes enable Worktree with the Branch fallback and leave the richer Git status component disabled
• Git Status shows branch, file-change and upstream state, and optional SHA; branch autohiding removes duplication with another visible branch field
• pull-request number display with optional review state, URL, and separate OSC 8 hyperlinks for every visible PR field
• configurable comma-separated suffix stripping for displayed hostnames

# Build from source:
cargo build --release
# install locally
cargo install --path .

Run xline in a terminal to open the theme editor:

xline

Add to Claude Code by editing ~/.claude/settings.json and adding/editing the top-level property:

"statusLine": {
  "type": "command",
  "command": "xline",
  "padding": 0
}

By default, xline stores its configuration in ~/.claude/xline, with themes in the themes subdirectory. Override the config directory for one-off runs or isolated testing with --config-dir:

xline --config-dir /tmp/xline-test

For shells, wrappers, and CI, set XLINE_CONFIG_DIR:

XLINE_CONFIG_DIR=/tmp/xline-test xline

The command-line option takes precedence over XLINE_CONFIG_DIR, which takes precedence over the default. The selected directory applies to the TUI, statusline rendering, initial theme bootstrap, and --install-themes.

This project drew inspiration and themes from CCometixLine.
