4 NAME
5 ----
6 git-help - display help information about git
8 SYNOPSIS
9 --------
10 'git help' [-a|--all|-i|--info] [COMMAND]
12 DESCRIPTION
13 -----------
15 With no options and no COMMAND given, the synopsis of the 'git'
16 command and a list of the most commonly used git commands are printed
17 on the standard output.
19 If the option '--all' or '-a' is given, then all available commands are
20 printed on the standard output.
22 If a git command is named, a manual page for that command is brought
23 up. The 'man' program is used by default for this purpose, but this
24 can be overriden by other options.
26 Note that 'git --help ...' is identical as 'git help ...' because the
27 former is internally converted into the latter.
29 OPTIONS
30 -------
31 -a|--all::
33 Prints all the available commands on the standard output. This
34 option superseeds any other option.
36 -i|--info::
37 Use the 'info' program to display the manual page, instead of
38 the 'man' program that is used by default.
