Atom comes with a default plugin that recognises local git repositories. So if you open the root folder of the git repository as a project folder, it will highlight which files have been modified since the last commit along with giving you a few other details like the branch you are on and whether you are behind on any commits. However, you can also install a plugin called “Git Plus” that allows you to use keyboard shortcuts to add/commit/push etc… I have only tried that plugin once or twice as I prefer to use SourceTree under os x to deal with git. I do find the standard features of Atom like which files have been modified since your last commit handy though.
