 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="paragraph"><p>With no options and no COMMAND given, the synopsis of the <em>git</em>
 command and a list of the most commonly used git commands are printed
 on the standard output.</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>If the option <em>--all</em> or <em>-a</em> is given, then all available commands are
 printed on the standard output.</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>If a git command is named, a manual page for that command is brought
 up. The <em>man</em> program is used by default for this purpose, but this
 can be overridden by other options or configuration variables.</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that <tt>git --help ...</tt> is identical to <tt>git help ...</tt> because the
 former is internally converted into the latter.</p></div>

 <dt class="hdlist1">
 -m
 </dt>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --man
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Display manual page for the command in the <em>man</em> format. This
  option may be used to override a value set in the
  <em>help.format</em> configuration variable.
 </p>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>By default the <em>man</em> program will be used to display the manual page,
 but the <em>man.viewer</em> configuration variable may be used to choose
 other display programs (see below).</p></div>

 <dd>
 <p>
  Display manual page for the command in the <em>web</em> (HTML)
  format. A web browser will be used for that purpose.
 </p>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>The web browser can be specified using the configuration variable
 <em>help.browser</em>, or <em>web.browser</em> if the former is not set. If none of
 these config variables is set, the <em>git web&#45;&#45;browse</em> helper script
 (called by <em>git help</em>) will pick a suitable default. See
 <a href="git-web&#45;&#45;browse.html">git-web&#45;&#45;browse(1)</a> for more information about this.</p></div>

 <h2 id="_configuration_variables">CONFIGURATION VARIABLES</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <h3 id="_help_format">help.format</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>If no command line option is passed, the <em>help.format</em> configuration
 variable will be checked. The following values are supported for this
 variable; they make <em>git help</em> behave as their corresponding command
 line option:</p></div>
 <div class="ulist"><ul>
 <li>
 <p>
 "man" corresponds to <em>-m|--man</em>,
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 "info" corresponds to <em>-i|--info</em>,
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 "web" or "html" correspond to <em>-w|--web</em>.
 </p>
 </li>
 </ul></div>
 <h3 id="_help_browser_web_browser_and_browser_lt_tool_gt_path">help.browser, web.browser and browser.&lt;tool&gt;.path</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>help.browser</em>, <em>web.browser</em> and <em>browser.&lt;tool&gt;.path</em> will also
 be checked if the <em>web</em> format is chosen (either by command line
 option or configuration variable). See <em>-w|--web</em> in the OPTIONS
 section above and <a href="git-web&#45;&#45;browse.html">git-web&#45;&#45;browse(1)</a>.</p></div>
 <h3 id="_man_viewer">man.viewer</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>man.viewer</em> config variable will be checked if the <em>man</em> format
 is chosen. The following values are currently supported:</p></div>
 <div class="ulist"><ul>
 <li>
 <p>
 "man": use the <em>man</em> program as usual,
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 "woman": use <em>emacsclient</em> to launch the "woman" mode in emacs
 (this only works starting with emacsclient versions 22),
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 "konqueror": use <em>kfmclient</em> to open the man page in a new konqueror
 tab (see <em>Note about konqueror</em> below).
 </p>
 </li>
 </ul></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>Values for other tools can be used if there is a corresponding
 <em>man.&lt;tool&gt;.cmd</em> configuration entry (see below).</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>Multiple values may be given to the <em>man.viewer</em> configuration
 variable. Their corresponding programs will be tried in the order
 listed in the configuration file.</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>For example, this configuration:</p></div>
 <div class="listingblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt> [man]
  viewer = konqueror
  viewer = woman</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>will try to use konqueror first. But this may fail (for example if
 DISPLAY is not set) and in that case emacs' woman mode will be tried.</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>If everything fails, or if no viewer is configured, the viewer specified
 in the GIT_MAN_VIEWER environment variable will be tried. If that
 fails too, the <em>man</em> program will be tried anyway.</p></div>
 <h3 id="_man_lt_tool_gt_path">man.&lt;tool&gt;.path</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred man viewer by
 setting the configuration variable <em>man.&lt;tool&gt;.path</em>. For example, you
 can configure the absolute path to konqueror by setting
 <em>man.konqueror.path</em>. Otherwise, <em>git help</em> assumes the tool is
 available in PATH.</p></div>
 <h3 id="_man_lt_tool_gt_cmd">man.&lt;tool&gt;.cmd</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>When the man viewer, specified by the <em>man.viewer</em> configuration
 variables, is not among the supported ones, then the corresponding
 <em>man.&lt;tool&gt;.cmd</em> configuration variable will be looked up. If this
 variable exists then the specified tool will be treated as a custom
 command and a shell eval will be used to run the command with the man
 page passed as arguments.</p></div>
 <h3 id="_note_about_konqueror">Note about konqueror</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>When <em>konqueror</em> is specified in the <em>man.viewer</em> configuration
 variable, we launch <em>kfmclient</em> to try to open the man page on an
 already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible.</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>For consistency, we also try such a trick if <em>man.konqueror.path</em> is
 set to something like <em>A_PATH_TO/konqueror</em>. That means we will try to
 launch <em>A_PATH_TO/kfmclient</em> instead.</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>If you really want to use <em>konqueror</em>, then you can use something like
 the following:</p></div>
 <div class="listingblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt> [man]
  viewer = konq

  [man "konq"]
  cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 <h3 id="_note_about_git_config_global">Note about git config --global</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that all these configuration variables should probably be set
 using the <em>--global</em> flag, for example like this:</p></div>
 <div class="listingblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>$ git config --global help.format web
 $ git config --global web.browser firefox</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>as they are probably more user specific than repository specific.
 See <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a> for more information about this.</p></div>

	variable will be checked. The following values are supported for this
	variable; they make <em>git help</em> behave as their corresponding command
	line option:</p></div>
	<div class="ulist"><ul>
	<li>
	<p>
	"man" corresponds to <em>-m\|--man</em>,
	</p>

	<li>
	<p>
	"info" corresponds to <em>-i\|--info</em>,
	</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>
	"web" or "html" correspond to <em>-w\|--web</em>.

	<h3 id="_help_browser_web_browser_and_browser_lt_tool_gt_path">help.browser, web.browser and browser.<tool>.path</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>help.browser</em>, <em>web.browser</em> and <em>browser.<tool>.path</em> will also
	be checked if the <em>web</em> format is chosen (either by command line
	option or configuration variable). See <em>-w\|--web</em> in the OPTIONS
	section above and <a href="git-web--browse.html">git-web--browse(1)</a>.</p></div>
	<h3 id="_man_viewer">man.viewer</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>man.viewer</em> config variable will be checked if the <em>man</em> format
	is chosen. The following values are currently supported:</p></div>
	<div class="ulist"><ul>
	<li>
	<p>
	"man": use the <em>man</em> program as usual,
	</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>
	"woman": use <em>emacsclient</em> to launch the "woman" mode in emacs
	(this only works starting with emacsclient versions 22),
	</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>
	"konqueror": use <em>kfmclient</em> to open the man page in a new konqueror
	tab (see <em>Note about konqueror</em> below).
	</p>
	</li>
	</ul></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>Values for other tools can be used if there is a corresponding
	<em>man.<tool>.cmd</em> configuration entry (see below).</p></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>Multiple values may be given to the <em>man.viewer</em> configuration
	variable. Their corresponding programs will be tried in the order
	listed in the configuration file.</p></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>For example, this configuration:</p></div>
	<div class="listingblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt> [man]
	viewer = konqueror
	viewer = woman</tt></pre>
	</div></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>will try to use konqueror first. But this may fail (for example if
	DISPLAY is not set) and in that case emacs' woman mode will be tried.</p></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>If everything fails, or if no viewer is configured, the viewer specified
	in the GIT_MAN_VIEWER environment variable will be tried. If that
	fails too, the <em>man</em> program will be tried anyway.</p></div>
	<h3 id="_man_lt_tool_gt_path">man.<tool>.path</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred man viewer by
	setting the configuration variable <em>man.<tool>.path</em>. For example, you
	can configure the absolute path to konqueror by setting
	<em>man.konqueror.path</em>. Otherwise, <em>git help</em> assumes the tool is
	available in PATH.</p></div>
	<h3 id="_man_lt_tool_gt_cmd">man.<tool>.cmd</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>When the man viewer, specified by the <em>man.viewer</em> configuration
	variables, is not among the supported ones, then the corresponding
	<em>man.<tool>.cmd</em> configuration variable will be looked up. If this
	variable exists then the specified tool will be treated as a custom
	command and a shell eval will be used to run the command with the man
	page passed as arguments.</p></div>
	<h3 id="_note_about_konqueror">Note about konqueror</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>When <em>konqueror</em> is specified in the <em>man.viewer</em> configuration
	variable, we launch <em>kfmclient</em> to try to open the man page on an
	already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible.</p></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>For consistency, we also try such a trick if <em>man.konqueror.path</em> is
	set to something like <em>A_PATH_TO/konqueror</em>. That means we will try to
	launch <em>A_PATH_TO/kfmclient</em> instead.</p></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>If you really want to use <em>konqueror</em>, then you can use something like
	the following:</p></div>
	<div class="listingblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt> [man]
	viewer = konq

	[man "konq"]
	cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror</tt></pre>
	</div></div>
	<h3 id="_note_about_git_config_global">Note about git config --global</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
	<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that all these configuration variables should probably be set
	using the <em>--global</em> flag, for example like this:</p></div>
	<div class="listingblock">
	<div class="content">
