Gitsigns debug messages

cli.run: Running action 'get_hunks' with arguments {}
cli.run: Running action 'debug_messages' with arguments {}

get_hunks won't work in the CLI because that function only returns data, it doesn't print it to the screen. Try:

:lua= require'gitsigns'.get_hunks()

[lewis6991]

I'll make it so the cli version prints to the screen
