Skimming the help of a git command once in a while (or when you have that feeling that there must be a way to achieve a specific thing) is rather quick and, thanks the pager's built in search feature, very accessible. Having an alias for help (and for git) makes this quite convenient: $ g h commit Then search for something in there, e.g. `/stdin<ENTER>`.
