Research direction
Open runTests.py and locate the help text shown by ./runTests.py -h, especially its final repository link. Update that link to the Stan repository or the testing wiki page, then run ./runTests.py -h and confirm the displayed help points to the selected destination.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Summary:
The help option is slightly out-of-date.
Description:
It currently points to the Math library repo at the end of the help message. That should point to Stan. Perhaps update it to point to the wiki page on testing instead?
Reproducible Steps:
From the command line:
$ ./runTests.py -h
Current Output:
$ ./runTests.py -h
usage: runTests.py [-h] [-j N] [-f F [F ...]] [-d] [-m] [--run-all]
tests [tests ...]

positional arguments:
tests The path(s) to the test case(s) to run.
