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.
