[PATCH v3 1/3] Add config variable to set HTML path for git-help --web

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If set in git-config, help.htmlpath overrides system_path(GIT_HTML_PATH)
which was compiled in. This allows users to repoint system-wide git at
their own copy of the documentation without recompiling.
