"git help -w" is showing stuff in the web browser, and when you open
git(1), which is rendered in HTML, and visit "Git User's Manual"
link in it, the experience would be no different from those viewing
via the browser on Windows---$(htmldir)/user-manual.html is where
the rendered HTML version of the user-manual is.
Or are you asking something else?
