- Make 'git help everyday' work

This may make the said command to emit something, but the source is
not meant to be formatted into a manual pages to begin with, and
also its contents are a bit stale.  It may be a good first step in
the right direction, but needs more work to at least get the
mark-up right before public consumption.

I'm not sure what elements you feel need adjustment. At the moment the markup formats quite reasonably to my eyes, both as an HTML page and as a
man page.

I sent you a small patch fixing some minor markup issues.

Thanks, I'll look through them. There was one part where there was a sub-list which made the numbering look wrong, but it formatted fine.


That said, the (lack of) introduction could do with a paragraph to introduce
the "guide". I have something in draft..

I had a thought that it may be worth a slight rearrangement to add a section covering the setting up of one's remotes, depending whether it was forked,
corporate, or independent, but the lack of resolution on the next
{publish/push} topic makes such a re-write awkward at this stage. (Ram cc'd)

Before attempting to introduce remote.pushdefault and triangular
workflows, I'd first fix the main issue: stale content.

My priority order was to fix accessibility, then basic format, followed by a nicer intro, and then the "current" content, rather than get hung up on initially word-smithing new content, which could go down a rabbit hole which would leaving the stale content in place. Hopefully the patch will bring out some more clarifications that folks feel are outdated or no longer informative.

    I'm not sure
who uses git show-branch or mailx anymore, for instance.

I hadn't even realised mailx was refering to specific program rather than a generic "mail-MUA-X" ;-)
