My concern would be: what happens when the automation encounters and edge case; what kind of unholy mess would you end up with?

And to be fair, with GitHub and GitLab, doing local feature branch merges has become a very rare event for me in the last 5 years.

Git Town covers a ton of edge cases. Just look at their "features" folder. If something goes wrong, Git Town allows to cleanly abort and undo what it did so far and go back to where it started.

That's a lot safer than the unholy mess that ensues when most people try to run "git reset --hard" or "git push --force" manually.

Edge cases handled properly may be the killer feature of this project, at least for me. With git, as long as I'm in familiar territory it's fine, but when somethings goes off rails my head's working set explodes with options.
