Git Town makes software development teams who use Git even more productive and happy. It adds additional Git commands that support GitHub Flow, Git Flow, the Nvie model, GitLab Flow, and other workflows more directly, and it allows you to perform many common Git operations faster and easier.
Check out the big picture for more background on Git Town and the tutorial to get an idea for how it works.
Git Town provides these additional Git commands:
- git extract - copy selected commits from the current branch into their own branch
- git hack - cut a new feature branch off the main branch
- git kill - remove an obsolete feature branch
- git prune-branches - delete merged branches
- git pull-request - create a new pull request
- git repo - view the repository homepage
- git ship - deliver a completed feature branch
- git sync - update the current branch with all relevant changes
- git sync-fork - pull upstream updates into a forked repository
- git town - general Git Town help, view and change Git Town configuration
Git Town is written in 100% Bash, so it runs anywhere Git and Bash runs.

Git Town is configured on a per-repository basis. Upon first use in a repository, it will ask for all required configuration. Use the git town command to view or update your configuration at any time.
In addition to the online documentation here,
you can run git town on the command line for an overview of the Git Town commands,
or git help <command> (e.g. git help sync) for help with an individual command.
