[GSoC][Patch] Does it have developer documentation?

[li li]

Does git have developer documentation like haiku os, where you can quickly read the source code and know what this part or this function does.

I didn't find it at https://git-scm.com/.

This is too painful

Git's Git history is very descriptive and the commits
are themselves a good documentation. If the function
description is not enough, you can inspect the
commits related to that function/piece of code using
git blame or git log.

For example, I randomly picked the function
`handle_path_include` from `config.c`. We can check the
history of that function using:

`git log -L :handle_path_include:config.c`

I described more this kind of search here:

I hope that it helps you!
