Hi, I was curious as to why the developers of Git decided to have three methods to get the manual for a verb. I am a developer who strives to understand Git to its fullest extent, and will share any information given on this question.
While reading Pro Git 2nd Ed. I came across these three methods: $ git help <verb> $ git <verb> --help $ man git-<verb> I tested all three to confirm they were equivalent. What was the motivation behind the complication, if any? I presume most developers would not provide multiple commands that do the same thing for absolutely no reason, so I led myself to ask this question. Respectfully, Andrew Johnson
