 Convenience function to help debug `generate`.
+
 It runs `generate` with the `dst_path` destination (random by default) and the given `data`
 (nothing by default).
 
 It also uses a `data_choice` to determine fake starting data. This is passed to
 [`dbg_data`](@ref).
 
+This function can be called in multiple ways:
+
+- `dbg_generate()`: Use all defaults
+- `dbg_generate(my_data::Dict)`: Use `my_data` and all defaults
+- `dbg_generate(dst_path::String)`: Use `dst_path` and all defaults
+- `dbg_generate(data_choice::Symbol)`: Use all defaults and `data_choice` to generate `my_data`
+
 It uses the `pkgdir` location of Bestie and adds the flags
 
 - `defaults = true`: Sent to copier to use the default answers.
