NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-help - display help information about git
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git help' [-a|--all|-i|--info|-m|--man|-w|--web] [COMMAND]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
With no options and no COMMAND given, the synopsis of the 'git'
|
|
command and a list of the most commonly used git commands are printed
|
|
on the standard output.
|
|
|
|
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, but this
|
|
can be overridden by other options or configuration variables.
|
|
|
|
Note that 'git --help ...' is identical as 'git help ...' because the
|
|
former is internally converted into the latter.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-a|--all::
|
|
Prints all the available commands on the standard output. This
|
|
option supersedes any other option.
|
|
|
|
-i|--info::
|
|
Use the 'info' program to display the manual page, instead of
|
|
the 'man' program that is used by default.
|
|
|
|
-m|--man::
|
|
Use the 'man' program to display the manual page. This may be
|
|
used to override a value set in the 'help.format'
|
|
configuration variable.
|
|
|
|
-w|--web::
|
|
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-help--browse' helper script
|
|
(called by 'git-help') will pick a suitable default.
|
|
+
|
|
You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred 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-help--browse' 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.
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
If no command line option is passed, the 'help.format' configuration
|
|
variable will be checked. The following values are supported for this
|
|
variable; they make 'git-help' behave as their corresponding command
|
|
line option:
|
|
|
|
* "man" corresponds to '-m|--man',
|
|
* "info" corresponds to '-i|--info',
|
|
* "web" or "html" correspond to '-w|--web',
|
|
|
|
The 'help.browser', 'web.browser' and 'browser.<tool>.path' will also
|
|
be checked if the 'web' format is chosen (either by command line
|
|
option or configuration variable). See '-w|--web' in the OPTIONS
|
|
section above.
|
|
|
|
Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using
|
|
the '--global' flag, for example like this:
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ git config --global help.format web
|
|
$ git config --global web.browser firefox
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
as they are probably more user specific than repository specific.
|
|
