+      Dura is a background process that watches your Git repositories and
+      commits your uncommitted changes without impacting HEAD, the current
+      branch, or the Git index (staged files). If you ever get into an
+      "oh snap!" situation where you think you just lost days of work,
+      checkout a "dura" branch and recover.
