Introduction

CCometixLine is an advanced, high-performance statusline tool specifically designed for Claude Code, written in Rust. It integrates seamlessly with Git, tracks usage, and offers a highly customizable experience through an interactive Text User Interface (TUI). Key features include displaying model information, current directory, Git branch status, and context window details, all presented with a minimal design using Nerd Font icons. This tool aims to enhance your Claude Code environment with relevant, real-time information.

Installation

The recommended way to install CCometixLine is via npm, which works across all platforms.

# Install globally

  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "~/.claude/ccline/ccline",
    "padding": 0
  }
}

This cross-platform path is recommended, with ~ automatically expanding to your user home directory. For more detailed instructions, including manual installation options for various operating systems, please refer to the official GitHub repository.
