git help in Windows command prompt
git <verb> -h
shows a command usage in the same terminal window.
On the other hand, git <verb> --help
and git help <verb>
open a browser.
It works for particular commands: git <command> -h
Edit, thanks to @the-happy-hippo
But it shows only a brief description, not the full one, as git help <command>
or git <command> --help
gives on Windows.
