@b0rk@social.jvns.ca I mean, why can't the first line of git help be something like, "For a brief introduction to the five most useful git commands, type "git help getting-started". (No, that help topic does not exist in the help docs). Instead, we get: % git help See 'git help ' to read about a specific subcommand Main Porcelain Commands add Add file contents to the index am Apply a series of patches from a mailbox archive Create an archive of files from a named tree (... 50 more subcommands with inscrutable one-liners...)

    @bradr@infosec.exchange what version of Git are you on? when I run `git help` I see something totally different which is a bit closer to what you described:
