| 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. |
