Question

I like reading man pages nicely formatted in a browser instead of in my terminal console.

Until recently, any time I had to look up details of a Git command, I’d just Google the command (like “git reset”) then hit the kernel.org link to the nicely formatted man page ( link http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/v1.7.1/git-reset.html)

Kernel.org’s been down for a long time, and it’s not clear whether/when it’s coming back.

Fortunately the Google caches are still around. But is there another good place to find the Git command references?

Answer 1

There’s now an official online location for the Git man pages again – they’re at:

• http://git-scm.com/docs

Now if only there were redirects from the old locations on kernel.org, that would stop the links on hundreds of StackOverflow answers being broken 🙁

Update: such redirects were requested on the git mailing list and Scott Chacon’s reply indicates this is intended…
