If Git on Windows can open a browser on a URL, why not just have that be a local HTML file? At least that works if there's a GUI and browser installed (rarely not the case on Windows, but if not you could include lynx and use that in the terminal as a fallback).
I think it does do that, actually. Definitely better in that it can be used without internet access, but I will admit that I have been guilty of thinking "if I'm going to be opening a browser anyway, might as well just google the question and get more targeted help."
