git bash help command fails to open html

Question

Git version 1.9.2-preview20140411
Windows 8.1

Command entered:

$ git help clear

Error message received:

trace: built-in: git 'help' 'clear'
Launching default browser to display HTML ...
fatal: failed to launch browser for C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Git/doc/git/html//gitclear.html

Problem reproduced by: $ git help <cmd> or $ git <cmd> --help

Expected Solution:
The help file is launched.

I checked out https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=445 but I'm not sure as to
1. Whether it really applies to my problem
2. What the actual proposed solution is

New to git and to coding in general - hence might be a bit slow

Answer 1

You get that because clear is not a git command. Try the same with status for example to see the difference.
