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. -- Shawn.
