'How to add the man command to git bash on windows and include the manuals
The popular man package on Linux seemingly comes as two components, a binary and a database. The binary is the code that executes man commands and the database contains the manual pages for the man command to serve.
With a fairly basic install of Windows 10 and Git Bash for Windows how can I install the man binary and the manual pages for the Git Bash commands which appear to be here.
The goal being the ability to run man curl
, man bash
or man git
and things Just Work.
Solution 1:[1]
On git bash you can use Command-name --help insted of the man command-name
(from Git: man command don't work)
