git brws --help doesn't work about git-brws HOT 5 CLOSED

I added git-brws.1 at dc957bf and added note in 'Installation' section in README. Thank you for reporting this.

from git-brws.

Actually this behavior is intended, but I agree that it is not so expected.

When running

git subcmd --help

the --help is not handled by git-subcmd, but by git itself. git searches a man manual for git-subcmd. git-subcmd cannot override this behavior.

git-brws --help

would work fine.

The perfect (and only I guess) fix is providing a man manual (git-brws.1) but I'm not familiar with the format and I don't want to bother users by requiring to install the man manual.

In this case I can see that it is difficult to solve this issue inside git-brws.

I can understand your concern and I also think creating a man entry for this project is somehow overkilling. (By the way, JFYR, it is not necessary to know about the format (roff) to write a man page because there are useful converters, e.g., ronn.)

Anyway, I personally don't have any trouble with this issue since I know git brws -h is workable. If this behavior is intentional as you said, I have nothing to add... I wish I had a better idea to solve 😢

I did not know ronn. Thank you for letting me know. I think I should try.

Yeah... what we can do which I was able to come up with is removing --help from flags.

Note: I setup Homebrew formula which put git-brws.1 properly. When installing git-brws via Homebrew, git brws --help should work.
