+# Make Neovim The Default Way To View Man Pages
+
+I was reading the help page for `:Man` which is the built-in plugin to Neovim
+for viewing man pages within a Neovim session. In it, they mentioned that the
+`MANPAGER` can be set to use Neovim instead of the default man page viewer.
+
+This can be done by setting `MANPAGER` like so:
+
+```bash
+$ export MANPAGER='nvim +Man!'
+```
+
+After setting this, you can run something like `man git-restore` which will
+open the man page for that command in a Neovim session using the Man page
+plugin which can do things like follow links to other man pages (`K` or
+`Ctrl=]`), quit by hitting `q`, as well as all the motions and search behavior
+of Vim.
+
+For long-term use, this can be set in your shell config, e.g. `~/.zshrc`. For
+one-off use, you can include it as an env var for a single call to `man`:
+
+```bash
+MANPAGER='nvim +Man!' man git-restore
+```
+
+See `:h :Man` within a Neovim session for more details.
