Basically shows you 'git status' at a glance, all the time. More for bash people: https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it (similar to ooh my zsh)

PyCharm / any IntelliJ-based IDE, Atom, vim, emacs etc can also all nicely show git status of your current project. I'd suggest one of those as well in whatever flavor of editor you prefer.

I'm using mostly IntelliJ / PyCharm and Atom which indeed show me that status. I usually commit either with IntelliJ directly (though sometimes it's too inclusive which is annoying), or with gitg.
