You need [fugitive](https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive) to see the current git branch. If you have it and still don't see it then you are probably using version 1.2, which is very old. vim-airline relies on a `fugitive#head()` function. Download v2 from the [project page][d].

#### I am seeing lot of `AirlineTabRefresh` messages when creating new splits. How can I get rid of them?
It seems, sometimes Vim does not create the correct mapping. Please add this mapping to your vimrc file:
`:noremap <silent> <Plug>AirlineTablineRefresh :set mod!<CR>`
If you happen to know, how to reproduce the issue on how to make Vim create those invalid maps, please mention in ticket [1029](https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline/issues/1029).
#### Can I get better font rendering in Windows gvim?

#### Make Airline seems like powerline
#### How can I make Airline look like powerline?
If you want your airline looks like a new powerline install (i.e all options by default), you only have to add
this option to your `.vimrc`
`let g:airline_section_z = airline#section#create(['windowswap', '%3p%% ', 'linenr', ':%3v']) `
`let g:airline_section_z = airline#section#create(['windowswap', '%3p%% ', 'linenr', ':%3v']) `
#### How can I remove those angle at the end?
This happens, because the warning and error sections are empty. However, because of the way the airline sections are evaluated, those separators will always be shown.
You can disable them, if you put this option into your `.vimrc`
`let g:airline_skip_empty_sections = 1`
This poses a small performance penalty, however.
