Research direction
The issue names no target file; start by locating the site's existing MSYS2 documentation pages and reviewing how command references are organized. Research Windows-built-in names that can shadow MSYS2 programs, then document the patterns with examples such as help and find, including how which -a reveals conflicts.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
will it make sense to have a page listing default msys2 programs which can be shadowed by the window inbuilt ones?
often the which (-a|--all) <name> is enough to find the shadowing for a particular <name>
but it is not till very late that a new user starts to recognise the patterns related to this problem. and till then, it leads to so many confusions & frustrations
some examples: help, find, ....
i will be interested to make a merge request for this if this is wanted.
