Some applications (e.g. Git) make "--help" redirect to man. What do you think of that?
- falcolas 8y agoPersonally, I still pull up "man git-pull" or similar. I'm actively annoyed that I have to remember that the AWS CLI is different in this regard. Not to mention that using "--help" for man pages requires I open up a separate window when I typically just want a quick reference to the most used flags. Moving man pages to a different command is like coming up with an alternative icon to the hamburger menu for your regular UI. Sure, all the functionality is still there, but it requires a full stop and search to remember where to find it.
