1. VC-mode

Today's word of wisdom is about Emacs vc-mode, which has the prefix C-x v and another letter based on what you wish to do. One I use daily is C-x v d, which opens a pannel which you may see stage status, branch, and some more information on what is tracked and not. C-x v v is also one that is frequently used, as it can add a file to be tracked and commit changes with one keybind, for the currently open buffer.

And as a extra, if you are in the general panel, or in a file you may open the log of the repository with C-x v L or L in the panel. This lets you browse, expand each commit and if you then press 'd' you can see the diff of the commit. In the diff you may as well press return and open the file at the time of the commit.
