Hi! I've been working with pwsh and oh-my-posh for a while, but I really can't stand the loading time of pwsh (my CPU is already a 7950x, so I don't think the bottleneck is there), so I want to switch to clink for my work. However, I have some preloaded commands in my pwsh profile that provide git branch count data for my oh-my-posh theme (I don't know why oh-my-posh provides workertree count data but not branch count data). The code is as follows:

function Oh-My-Posh-Env-Init {
    $env:BranchCount = (git branch | Measure-Object -Line).Lines -1
}
New-Alias -Name 'Set-PoshContext' -Value 'Oh-My-Posh-Env-Init' -Scope Global -Force

But I don't know how to convert this to clink's lua code so that this method is automatically called each time the theme is rendered, in order to refresh the environment variable BranchCount.
