Here’s a simple function I wrote for the fish shell to show the current git branch name in the titlebar, along with an asterisk if there are any local changes.

function fish_title
  # Show Git branch if inside a repo
  if git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree >/dev/null 2>&1
    set branch (git symbolic-ref --short HEAD 2>/dev/null | string trim)
    set dirty ""

    set git_status (git status --porcelain 2>/dev/null | string trim)
    if test -n "$git_status"
      set dirty " *"
    end

    echo "$branch$dirty"
  end
end
