Yes, I use git status. It probably lives halfway down my list of most-commonly-used-git-commands. But since I'm usually working in VS Code, I'm just as likely (maybe moreso) to first check the in-IDE git status highlighter marks in my active project (both in the file browser and the windows themselves). git status is more likely to be used if I'm just coming back to a project with intention to branch, unable to remember if I had tracked whatever changes I had made in my previous session.

Other git commands used more frequently:

git add -A & git commit -m "{{message}}" & git push

git log

git checkout -b

git branch -a
