How to disable automatic opening of GitShell help in the browser?

Question

git

When I enter some command like "git help branch", it takes me to the browser and shows me the help there... is there any way to make it do it like in normal bash?

Answer 1

Set the variable help.format in ~/.gitconfig to the correct value, for example:

[help]
    format = man
