pipe a program into less

Piping only redirects stdout. If you want stderr as well then you need to redirect that to stdout first.
git config 2>&1 | less

I'm taking the dive into setting up and learning git and at the same time learning bash. I'm trying to do something simple as view the help section of
$ git config
unfortunately, when I type that the output of the help goes off the screen. Doing some googling I found less to be the program I want to use to scroll.
I tried
$ git config | less
with no success. Any ideas? Thanks!
