From: Junio C Hamano git help [-a|--all] [COMMAND] git help [-a|--all|-i|--info|-w|--web] [COMMAND] If the option --all or -a is given, then all available commands are
printed on the standard output. If a git command is named, a manual page for that command is brought
-up. The man program is used by default for this purpose. Note that git --help … is identical as git help … because the
former is internally converted into the latter.SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
+ Use the info program to display the manual page, instead of + the man program that is used by default. +
++ Use a web browser to display the HTML manual page, instead of + the man program that is used by default. +
+The web browser can be specified using the configuration variable +help.browser, or web.browser if the former is not set. If none of +these config variables is set, the git-browse-help script (called by +git-help) will pick a suitable default.
+You can explicitly provide a full path to your prefered browser by +setting the configuration variable browser.<tool>.path. For example, +you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting +browser.firefox.path. Otherwise, git-browse-help assumes the tool +is available in PATH.
+Note that the script tries, as much as possible, to display the HTML +page in a new tab on an already opened browser.
