    git --help |grep pull

Not just that.  It makes me sad that it is unpredictable which
stream a project happens to have chosen to send its help text and I
end up almost always doing

    random-command --help 2>&1 | less
Keyboard shortcuts
hback out one level
jnext message in thread
kprevious message in thread
ldrill in
Escclose help / fold thread tree
?toggle this help
