Git-status Memes

The compulsive need to run git status after literally every command is the developer equivalent of checking if you locked the door three times before leaving the house. You just pushed your changes? Better check the status again to make sure the universe didn't spontaneously create new uncommitted files in the 0.2 seconds since your last check. The sequence here is chef's kiss: status → add → status (just to be sure) → commit → push → status (because what if the push created local changes somehow???). It's pure paranoia mixed with muscle memory, and the guy staring at the screen waiting for that sweet "working tree clean" message is all of us.
