BK-HELP(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

bk help — get help for BitKeeper commands. This is the bk help(none) page from the BitKeeper User’s Manual, bestie ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bk help [−akp] [−ffilename] specific‐topic
bk help topics

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so bk help shows the online help for whatever command or topic you point it at. The output gets displayed in the current command shell window — very demure, very in-shell 💅. See bk helptool for the info about the graphical interface for help.

A quick reference guide can be found in:

`bk bin`/bk_refcard.pdf

To get a list of all bk help topics use:

bk help topics

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• −a — just search the docs for the string topic. This matches substrings and prints the topic followed by the matching line.
• −ffile — use file as the helptext file.
• −k — similar to −a, but only matches whole words. Word boundaries, slay.
• −p — disable the use of any pager just send the output to stdout.

🔮 FUTURE DIRECTIONS 🔮

We will be adding a bk man command to format the man pages on the fly. Future-era icon behavior 🌈
