Seems interesting but I don't personally like using these kind of projects.

Having a wrapper around another technology or tools to make things easier to use, encapsulates many more important concepts that you have to know as a good developer. I don't think giant tech companies use these kind of tools as well.

Giant tech companies basically use their own version control systems. Facebook uses something forked from Mercurial, I think, Google has a Perforce derived one, etc.

They basically take the approach presented here to 11.

Git Town is meant to be a wrapper around Git but an extension. The commands it adds are suitable for particular workflows where you would otherwise be running the same series of git commands. It prints out all the Git commands it runs and the output of them.

I think Git Town is best used only after someone learns Git (and has possibly run through the workflows by hand).
