Cool idea! I think I’d feel more comfortable using it with some clearer documentation on what exactly happens. The itertools pydocs are pretty relevant (even if their code snippets are “this is roughly equivalent to…”): https://docs.python.org/2/library/itertools.html#itertool-fu...

Also, what does it say if I do `git help ship`?

Git Town committer here. Our commands output the detailed Git commands when they run. In addition, we provide a summary of what each command does in its man page (see https://github.com/Originate/git-town/blob/master/documentat... for an example).

You have a good point about it being valuable to document the steps run by each command in more detail though. We'll add this, thanks for the suggestion! :)

Btw "git help ship" displays the man page for "git-ship".

Good stuff. That’s nice it outputs the commands. Have you considered adding a `[--dry-run|-n]` flag to see the command output in a safe way?
