 695 <div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>man.viewer</em> config variable will be checked if the <em>man</em> format
 696 is chosen. The following values are currently supported:</p></div>
 697 <div class="ulist"><ul>
 698 <li>
 699 <p>
 700 "man": use the <em>man</em> program as usual,
 701 </p>
 702 </li>
 703 <li>
 704 <p>
 705 "woman": use <em>emacsclient</em> to launch the "woman" mode in emacs

 707 </p>
 708 </li>
 709 <li>
 710 <p>
 711 "konqueror": use <em>kfmclient</em> to open the man page in a new konqueror

 714 </li>
 715 </ul></div>
 716 <div class="paragraph"><p>Values for other tools can be used if there is a corresponding

 718 <div class="paragraph"><p>Multiple values may be given to the <em>man.viewer</em> configuration
 719 variable. Their corresponding programs will be tried in the order
 720 listed in the configuration file.</p></div>
 721 <div class="paragraph"><p>For example, this configuration:</p></div>
 722 <div class="listingblock">
 723 <div class="content">
 724 <pre><tt>        [man]
 725                 viewer = konqueror
 726                 viewer = woman</tt></pre>
 727 </div></div>
 728 <div class="paragraph"><p>will try to use konqueror first. But this may fail (for example if
 729 DISPLAY is not set) and in that case emacs' woman mode will be tried.</p></div>
 730 <div class="paragraph"><p>If everything fails, or if no viewer is configured, the viewer specified
 731 in the GIT_MAN_VIEWER environment variable will be tried.  If that
 732 fails too, the <em>man</em> program will be tried anyway.</p></div>
 733 <h3 id="_man_lt_tool_gt_path">man.&lt;tool&gt;.path</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
 734 <div class="paragraph"><p>You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred man viewer by
 735 setting the configuration variable <em>man.&lt;tool&gt;.path</em>. For example, you
 736 can configure the absolute path to konqueror by setting
 737 <em>man.konqueror.path</em>. Otherwise, <em>git help</em> assumes the tool is
 738 available in PATH.</p></div>
 739 <h3 id="_man_lt_tool_gt_cmd">man.&lt;tool&gt;.cmd</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
 740 <div class="paragraph"><p>When the man viewer, specified by the <em>man.viewer</em> configuration
 741 variables, is not among the supported ones, then the corresponding
 742 <em>man.&lt;tool&gt;.cmd</em> configuration variable will be looked up. If this
 743 variable exists then the specified tool will be treated as a custom
 744 command and a shell eval will be used to run the command with the man
 745 page passed as arguments.</p></div>
 746 <h3 id="_note_about_konqueror">Note about konqueror</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
 747 <div class="paragraph"><p>When <em>konqueror</em> is specified in the <em>man.viewer</em> configuration
 748 variable, we launch <em>kfmclient</em> to try to open the man page on an
 749 already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible.</p></div>
 750 <div class="paragraph"><p>For consistency, we also try such a trick if <em>man.konqueror.path</em> is
 751 set to something like <em>A_PATH_TO/konqueror</em>. That means we will try to
 752 launch <em>A_PATH_TO/kfmclient</em> instead.</p></div>
 753 <div class="paragraph"><p>If you really want to use <em>konqueror</em>, then you can use something like
 754 the following:</p></div>
 755 <div class="listingblock">
 756 <div class="content">
 757 <pre><tt>        [man]
 758                 viewer = konq
 759
 760         [man "konq"]
 761                 cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror</tt></pre>
 762 </div></div>
 763 <h3 id="_note_about_git_config_global">Note about git config --global</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
 764 <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that all these configuration variables should probably be set
 765 using the <em>--global</em> flag, for example like this:</p></div>
 766 <div class="listingblock">
 767 <div class="content">
 768 <pre><tt>$ git config --global help.format web
 769 $ git config --global web.browser firefox</tt></pre>
 770 </div></div>
 771 <div class="paragraph"><p>as they are probably more user specific than repository specific.
