![Today I am going to do another Tool that was sent to me via one of my Twitter followers, then get back to regular tips.
If you want have an App or tip or link you think belongs here, just @reply to cocoasamurai or email me cocoasamurai [at] gmail.com and let me know it’s for this blog.
One of my twitter followers pointed me at an app called Bwana, which according to the site means Mr or Sir in Swahili. Basically it turns your Webkit browser (except for Google Chrome) into a man page browser. I can easily look man pages up in terminal, but sometimes it’s just faster to be able to quickly skim over a man page for a particular section your looking for, and this tool helps.
All you do is put it in your Applications folder, restart your browser, and then in Safari or OmniWeb (what I use for all my Developer specific browsing when coding) you can type man: and then the manpage you are looking up and it’ll come up in your browser. So you could type man:git and it’ll bring up the git man page in your browser.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0yb8qBT281qbz9w4o1_500.png)
