 Like `git`, the `rbenv` command delegates to subcommands based on its
 first argument. The most common subcommands are:
 
-### rbenv global ###
-
-Sets the global version of Ruby to be used in all shells by writing
-the version name to the `~/.rbenv/version` file. This version can be
-overridden by an application-specific `.ruby-version` file, or by
-setting the `RBENV_VERSION` environment variable.

-    $ rbenv global 1.9.3-p327
-
-The special version name `system` tells rbenv to use the system Ruby
-(detected by searching your `$PATH`).
-
-When run without a version number, `rbenv global` reports the
-currently configured global version.

 ### rbenv local ###
 
 Sets a local application-specific Ruby version by writing the version
 name to a `.ruby-version` file in the current directory. This version
