Online help? In git-gui? :-)
We don't have an online help system yet. Basically no documentation
has been written for git-gui. No thought has been put into how one
should be organized, maintained, or displayed to the poor human
who is just trying to learn more about Git and this gui thing it
came with.
Yes, Help->Online Documentation is abvailable to most users, but
that just opens your web browser (if it can find one) and points
it to kernel.org's git manual. Not exactly the best material for
learning more about git-gui itself.
