Michael #1: Git Town solves the problem that using the Git CLI correctly

• Git Town is a reusable implementation of Git workflows for common usage scenarios like contributing to a centralized code repository on platforms like GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea.
• Think of Git Town as your Bash scripts for Git, but fully engineered with rock-solid support for many use cases, edge cases, and error conditions.
• Keep using Git the way you do now, but with extra commands to create various branch types, keep them in sync, compress, review, and ship them efficiently.
• Basic workflow
  • Commands to create, work on, and ship features.
    • git town hack - create a new feature branch
    • git town sync - update the current branch with all ongoing changes
    • git town switch - switch between branches visually
    • git town propose - propose to ship a branch
