git-instaweb(1)
===============
NAME
----
git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'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. If the
script fails, the URL will be printed to stdout.
+
Note that the 'git-web--browse' script tries, as much as possible, to
display the HTML page in a new tab on an already opened browser.
+
The following browsers are currently supported by 'git-web--browse':
+
* firefox (this is the default under X Window when not using KDE)
* iceweasel
* konqueror (this is the default under KDE)
* w3m (this is the default outside X Window)
* links
* lynx
* dillo
--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.
You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred browser by
setting the configuration variable 'browser.<tool>.path'. For example,
you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting
'browser.firefox.path'. Otherwise, 'git-web--browse' assumes the tool
is available in PATH.
