Does anyone know of alternative UIs for viewing info pages? Using less(1) would be nice, but is it straightforward to do so?

- gradschool 4y agohttps://github.com/baszoetekouw/pinfo https://github.com/baszoetekouw/pinfo mature project packaged for Debian and other distros, nice colorful curses-based UI, fast muscle-memory conducive keyboard control, you're welcome
- dotancohen 4y agoSure, that's how I do it. $ info git | less
- jwilk 4y agoWait, does git actually have documentation in info format?
- dotancohen 4y ago$ info git | head info: No menu item 'git' in node '(dir)Top' GIT(1) Git Manual GIT(1) NAME git - the stupid content tracker SYNOPSIS git [--version] [--help] [-C <path>] [-c <name>=<value>] [--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path] [-p|--paginate|-P|--no-pager] [--no-replace-objects] [--bare] [--git-dir=<path>] [--work-tree=<path>] [--namespace=<name>]
- jwilk 4y agoThat's just info(1) falling back to the man page.
- dotancohen 4y agoThanks, I did not realize that it does that.
