-description: How to install the local git HTML help files
-categories: setup
----
-
-This guide will help you install the local git HTML help files and set git to use them by default instead of the man pages.
-
-Most git installations will install man files for help, but not the HTML help files (the same files seen on git's "online documentation":http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git-core/docs/). Installing these help files is a fairly simple process.
-
-h2. Windows
-
-"Msysgit":http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ installs and sets the HTML help files as the default automatically. You don't need to do anything!
-
-h2. OSX
-
-The following commands were run on an installation of the "git-osx-installer":http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/. Your documentation path may be different, pay attention to the output of @git help --web commit@ for where your git is set to look for the HTML files.
