Current base status line integration

[themastersheep]

Is it possible to surface / display the current base to with a view to displaying in my status line?

I currently use this for my statusline:

function M.hunks()
  if vim.b.gitsigns_status then
    local status = vim.b.gitsigns_head
    if vim.b.gitsigns_status ~= '' then
      status = status .. ' ' .. vim.b.gitsigns_status
    end
    return status
  end

  if vim.g.gitsigns_head then
    return vim.g.gitsigns_head
  end

  return ''
end

There is also vim.b.gitsigns_status_dict

See :help gitsigns-statusline

Thanks for the reply, I had looked at those two things but neither seemed to give me the name of the base , so should I call change_base("origin/master"), I was looking to surface it so I could add next to the branch name in my status line to visually check / remind what the current diff is against.

Ah, no there is no value for the base at the moment.
