+As with most software packages, Git
+includes online documentation, accessible
+in several ways. The simplest way, this
+will working on all systems is by add
+@option{--help} to the command @command{git}
+or @command{git VERB}.
+
+Git is a project started by Linus Torvalds,
+the creator of the Linux kernel, so naturally
+it has manpages, but not any official
+@command{info} manual. Since @command{info}
+supports manpage you can use @command{info}
+in place of @command{man}.
+
+Git includes several manpages, one manpage
+for every Git command: @command{man git VERB}
+or alternatively @command{man git-VERB}, and
+manpages on special topic:
+
+@itemize
+@item @command{man git}
