.TH "HELP" "1" "Nov 13, 2025" "4.2" "fish-shell"
.SH NAME
help \- display fish documentation
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
\fBhelp\fP [\fISECTION\fP]
.fi
.sp
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBhelp\fP displays the fish help documentation.
.sp
If a \fISECTION\fP is specified, the help for that command is shown.
.sp
The \fB\-h\fP or \fB\-\-help\fP option displays help about using this command.
.sp
If the \fI\%BROWSER\fP environment variable is set, it will be used to display the documentation.
Otherwise, fish will search for a suitable browser.
To use a different browser than as described above, you can set \fB$fish_help_browser\fP
This variable may be set as a list, where the first element is the browser command and the rest are browser options.
.SH EXAMPLE
.sp
\fBhelp fg\fP shows the documentation for the \fI\%fg\fP builtin.
.SH NOTES
.sp
Most builtin commands, including this one, display their help in the terminal when given the \fB\-\-help\fP option.
