No, it's in the command-list in:

  https://git-scm.com/docs

in the section "debugging".

Yes. :) You can clone the repo and build using the instructions in the README (including importing at least one version's worth of manpages to render). It's a minor-ish pain to do so if you're not used to working with Ruby or Rails.

We also spin up a staging deploy for any PRs opened against that repo, though I _think_ it won't do so for PRs opened from another fork (since it can read the production database; we don't care for our project, which contains no secrets, but many projects would).
