Hi, It seems the git man pages (or HTML pages) are not installed by default when you install git as described in the http://git-scm.com/book I propose to add a note to http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Installing-Git along those lines: Getting the git manpages from "https://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list" and unpack them (supposing you installed your git into "/opt/git"): TARGET=/opt/git VERSION=`$TARGET/bin/git --version | awk '{print $3}' | cut -d '.' -f1-3` wget "http://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-manpages-${VERSION}.tar.gz" mkdir "$TARGET/share/man" tar xz -C "$TARGET/share/man" -f "git-manpages-${VERSION}.tar.gz"
