The 'man' program is used by default for this purpose, but this 24can be overriden by other options. 25 26Note that 'git --help ...' is identical as 'git help ...' because the 27former is internally converted into the latter. 28 29OPTIONS 30------- 31-a|--all:: 32 33 Prints all the available commands on the standard output. This 34 option superseeds any other option. 35 36-i|--info:: 37 Use the 'info' program to display the manual page, instead of 38 the 'man' program that is used by default. 39 40Author 41------ 42Written by Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> and the git-list 43<git@vger.kernel.org>. 44 45Documentation 46------------- 47Initial documentation was part of the gitlink:git[7] man page. 48Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> extracted and rewrote it a 49little.
