git-help: Display help about a specific Git subcommand in a web browser.
$ git help --web ${subcommand}
try on your machine

The command "git help --web ${subcommand}" is used to get help for a specific subcommand in Git and open it in a web browser.

Here's how it works:

  1. "git help" is a Git command that displays the manual or help information for various Git commands or topics.

  2. The "--web" option is used to open the help information in a web browser instead of displaying it in the terminal. Git will launch the default web browser and display the help page for the specified subcommand.

  3. "${subcommand}" refers to the specific Git command or subcommand for which you want to see the help information. You need to replace "${subcommand}" with the actual command you want to get help for.

For example, if you want to get help for the "commit" command, you would use the command "git help --web commit". Git will open the help page for the "commit" subcommand in the web browser.
