I am really unhappy, because I have no idea why there is a merge commit in here. I tried this:

$ git branch
> master
$ git checkout feat/config-docs
> merge commit??
$ git checkout <sha of @whyrusleeping's commit>
> on detached branch
$ <edit files>
$ git add -A && git commit -m 'My changes'
> Add stuff
$ git checkout feat/config-docs
> left commit behind
$ git branch new-branch <sha of new commit with edits>
$ git checkout new-branch
$ git rebase feat/config-docs
$ git checkout feat/config-docs
$ git merge new-branch
$ git log

• This is a great to have 👍
• It could use more examples
• Or be written as a big json file with comments next to the keys/values (config_doc.js for syntax highlighting) similar to how various sys configs are written
• reconsider using hson...
