Git Documentation for Apple Dictionary
A couple months ago I found Priit Haamer’s blog post about the Ruby Dictionary for Mac OS X. So now I’ve ported the Git Documentation to Dictionary.app also. Please let me know of any bugs. Enjoy!
Download
- Download gitdictionary file (<1MB, works only with 10.5 Leopard) and proceed to installation instructions.
Installation
- Unzip downloaded file into ~/Library/Dictionaries folder if you want to keep this dictionary only for yourself. You may need to create this folder if you haven’t installed any dictionaries before.
- To make the searching with Spotlight work, open Dictionary.app preferences pane and drag “Git” from the dictionaries list from bottom to the top because only the first one in this list will be searched from Spotlight.
- To make it available for all users on your computer, drop the Git.dictionary folder into /Library/Dictionaries folder.

Excellent work! I can’t wait to get home and try it out.

Nice! I also prefer the documentation from the “cheat” gem to man pages too. It is backed by a wiki so anyone can update the git cheat wiki and everyone benefits as well. `gem install cheat && cheat git` to check it out.
