Sure you can create your own command. Are you looking for just non staged changes? Save as `git-count`

#!/bin/bash

# Calculate additions and deletions from unstaged changes
git diff --numstat | awk '
  {
    added += $1;
    deleted += $2;
  }
  END {
    printf "+%d -%d\n", added, deleted;
  }
'

is there any way to get the git status in a couple characters? (ie +32 -10) for a custom prompt? i tried researching but the closest i could find was git diff --shortstat, which is one line but very very long
