After using gitmux in tmux, from time to time, a problem occurs to me:

fatal: Unable to create '/path/.git/index.lock': File exists.

I think this is because git is kept running in the background inside gitmux with tmux.

and I used an script before using gitmux:
https://github.com/c02y/dotfiles/blob/5cbcbda2d49d0f0458fc404b57c5ab0fbd9def7a/bin/.local/bin/pane-border-format.sh#L50

I use --no-optional-locks for git command in that script to avoid this problem, could you please fix this issue.

Thank you for that.
I wasn't aware of this option.
It happened also to me from time to time, though rarely enough to not be on my priority list, but was painy enough to be reminded of!
That was the n1 issue that prevented me to publicize gitmux over tmux-gitbar.
Thanks again I'm gonna bake this right into the Go binary so that gitmux can be safely called !!!

Bump gitstatus
4ed9871 
By bumping gitstatus to v0.4.2 we're now calling git with
GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS set to 0, ensuring gitstatus does not lock the
working tree for its operations, effectively giving higher
priority to user-initiated operations. This is useful when gitmux
is run in the background.
