I startup vim and neovim with a minimal vimrc, still couldn't show git status. VIMRC is below:

if has('vim_starting')
  set nocompatible
endif
set packpath=
set runtimepath+=\~/vimfiles/plugged/fern.vim
set runtimepath+=\~/vimfiles/plugged/fern-plugin-git.vim
filetype plugin indent on
syntax on
nnoremap \<silent> <Leader>e :Fern . -drawer -keep -toggle\<CR>

What is your Vim/Neovim/OS version and how did you try?

[RnYi]

I tried on Vim 8.2, Neovim 0.4.4 and Neovim nightly with a minimal vimrc. Then I entered a directory and modified a file, no signs showed on fern buffer. My OS is Win10 20H2. The minimal vimrc is below:

call plug#begin()
    Plug 'lambdalisue/fern.vim'
    Plug 'lambdalisue/fern-git-status.vim'
call plug#end()

if has('vim_starting')
  set nocompatible
endif
filetype plugin indent on
syntax on
let g:mapleader="\<Space>"

Is git command accessible from your GVim? Confirm it by

:echo executable('git')

Yes, it prints "1".

Do you see anything when you hit :message? I don't have Windows + Git + Fern environment thus it's a bit difficult to debug .

I hit :messages, output is below: Translate it in English:Simplified Chinese message maintainer:Yuheng Xie <elephant@linux.net.cn>. It seems not helpful...

I've asked other users who use Windows as well and they don't see the columns as well so it seems there are bug on Windows.
