NAME
git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb
SYNOPSIS
git-instaweb [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>]
[--browser=<browser>]
git-instaweb [--start] [--stop] [--restart]
DESCRIPTION
A simple script to setup gitweb and a web server for browsing the local
repository.
OPTIONS
-l|--local
Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
-d|--httpd
The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed. Command-line
options may be specified here, and the configuration file will
be added at the end of the command-line. Currently lighttpd,
apache2 and webrick are supported. (Default: lighttpd)
-m|--module-path
The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache). (Default:
/usr/lib/apache2/modules)
-p|--port
The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)
-b|--browser
The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb page.
This will be passed to the git-web--browse helper script along
with the URL of the gitweb instance. See git-web--browse(1) for
more information about this. If the script fails, the URL will
be printed to stdout.
--start
Start the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of
the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
--stop Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of
the configuration files for spawning a new instance, nor does it
close the browser.
--restart
Restart the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any
of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
CONFIGURATION
You may specify configuration in your .git/config
[instaweb]
local = true
httpd = apache2 -f
port = 4321
browser = konqueror
modulepath = /usr/lib/apache2/modules
If the configuration variable instaweb.browser is not set, web.browser
will be used instead if it is defined. See git-web--browse(1) for more
information about this.
