Provide a man page for git-publish

berrange opened this issue 7 years ago · 3 comments

Command line tools are usually accompanied by man pages to describe their usage, but git-publish lacks one right now.

Much of what is in README.rst could be turned into POD syntax from which a man page could be created.

This would be particularly helpful for making 'git publish --help' work as that just runs 'man git-$COMMAND', so currently you get

$ git publish --help
No manual entry for git-publish

The man page has been merged! I took your idea and converted README.rst to POD. Luckily GitHub can also render README.pod files so there is no loss in functionality for the GitHub repository landing page.
