Hello, there is an error in the manual.

$git remote --help or im my case I enter incorrect command $git remote list

The help message:
usage: git remote [-v | --verbose]
...
  or: git remote set-url --add <name> <newurl>
If to type command according to help message, the error appears:

$ git remote --add gitverse https://repository.domain/MyName/MyRepository error: unknown option `add' ...

The correct command is
$ git remote add gitverse https://repository.domain/MyName/MyRepository
And the correct help message is
   or: git remote set-url add <name> <newurl>
In the manpage the same error too.

$ git -v git version 2.43.0
