Installing Git manual web pages
If you want to see the help for git-status, you can do either of these:

git status --help

git help status

On Windows/Msysgit, the default is to always open the web page. If you are on Mac or Linux, you can append -w to the above commands.
If you always want to see the web pages (so you can leave out -w), you can do:

git config --global help.format web

On my Mac, Lynx was the default browser for some reason, so I had to configure it to use the OSX `open` command (for html files) instead:

git config --global web.browser open

On my Ubuntu machine, I had to configure it like this to use Google Chrome (Firefox was default):

git config --global web.browser google-chrome

I also had to clone the docs into this location (not the one according to the GitHub help pages above):

/usr/share/doc/git/html/

See git-web--browse docs for more info.
