Customise your shell (bash, zsh, etc.) in order to show on each prompt the status of your git repo (untracked changes, commits not on a remote, etc..). When I see some red, I now something is amiss and it really helps.

Also, `tig` is a great tool to explore the git history

I just install zsh/oh-my-zsh and it has all that nicely setup out the box.

I love oh-my-zsh and it's plugins.
