Replying to siarzhuk:
FYI: r1795 introduced support for handling extended Git documentation.

What about its HTML documentation? Since we don't even have a "man" command, that might be the better option :-)
And you can configure git to open a browser for a "git help" command.
By the way, Haiku has "Man" optional package. May be somebody create another GCI task about Git help HTML-izing for the "second wave" that come 16 December.

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
Documentation (including html) is being built from the gitdoc port. Perhaps it just needs to be added as a dependency for git in the haiku build system.
