@copilot Simply make it so that if the symbol for a flag is empty, then we won't display it nor the count. |

Done! I've implemented exactly what you requested. The flags() method now checks if each symbol is empty, and when it is, that flag (including its count) won't be displayed. All flag types are supported:
When any symbol is set to Implementation is in commit a0c54a0 with comprehensive test coverage. |

This PR implements the ability to hide individual flags without disabling all flags, addressing the feature request for selective flag visibility.
Problem
Previously, flag display was all-or-nothing - users could only hide all flags or show all flags. There was no way to hide specific flag types (like stashes) while keeping others visible.
Solution
Following @arl's suggestion, flags are now completely hidden (including their counts) when their corresponding symbol is set to an empty string (
"").Examples
Before - stash count always visible when present:
After - stash count hidden by setting empty symbol:
This works for all flag types:
staged: staged files countconflict: conflict files countmodified: modified files countuntracked: untracked files countstashed: stash entries countclean: clean status symbolImplementation
