Description
URL for broken page
https://git-scm.com/docs/api-builtin
Problem
This commit removed the api-builtin docs from Git in 2017, but the page still exists. This information is now very false due to some recent refactors in the builtin API.
Operating system and browser
macOS and Safari, though that doesn't matter.
Steps to reproduce
The page should be a 404, but it is not.
