NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-help - display help information about git
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git help' [-a|--all|-i|--info] [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 overriden by other options.
|
|
|
|
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 superseeds any other option.
|
|
|
|
-i|--info::
|
|
Use the 'info' program to display the manual page, instead of
|
|
the 'man' program that is used by default.
