git-help(1)
======
NAME
----
git-help - display help information about git
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git help' [-a|--all] [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.
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.
Author

Written by Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> and the git-list
<git@vger.kernel.org>.
Documentation
-------------
Initial documentation was part of the gitlink:git[7] man page.
Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> extracted and rewrote it a
little. Maintenance is done by the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>.
