The github tracker redirects back to this group, saying "These pages are generated from git man pages, so we have no control over it. Have you reported it to the community at https://git-scm.com/community ?"

Where should that link be updates it point?`howtos-index` does get generated by the Git project but doesn't appear to be published on the git-scm site for some reason. git-scm is maintained as a separate project[1], so the best thing to do is to report the problem there using their bug tracker[2].

There's already an issue here: https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fgit%2Fgit-scm.com%2Fissues%2F1521&data=04%7C01%7CDennis.Bulgrien%40astronics.com%7C35dd885da77a4dcd278c08d8c94b440e%7Ca2ce8a60084049b7938997ad811e2924%7C1%7C0%7C637480672478675488%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=YnvAqClHZb3Ne5RtIpSQO%2BZI6IbgmWrqRjZhYaaUjys%3D&reserved=0 But I think there's a larger problem within Git's manpages themselves. There is no manpage version of many of the pages, yet git.txt still links to them. So "man git" on my system points to to several file:// urls that doesn't exist. This is true of my custom-built Git, but I think also true for some system package setups (e.g., Debian's "git" package ships the manpages, but you don't get the html versions unless you install "git-doc" as well). -Peff This E-mail is confidential.
