@b0rk I subconsciously run git status after every random git thing I do. It is so automated that it doesn't even affect the experience xD

@weepingclown @b0rk I mostly interact with git through emacs now, but whenever I do interact with the CLI, I do this pretty much compulsively as well. Do the same thing with 'ls' after cd'ing to a different directory.

@splatt9990 @b0rk what are the odds, I run ll almost straight after every cd as well :P (I have alias ll='la -lA')

@weepingclown @b0rk my favourite suggestion for helping people with git is _read what git status says_ (e.g. how do i tell what branch i'm on, how do i undo a change i didn't want, what should i do in detached HEAD). It sounds simple, but there is something about the drone-like output of git status that makes it surprisingly hard to read, even when there is critical information in its output.
