NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       git instaweb [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>]
10                      [--browser=<browser>]
11       git instaweb [--start] [--stop] [--restart]

DESCRIPTION

15       A simple script to set up gitweb and a web server for browsing the
16       local repository.
17

OPTIONS

19       -l, --local
20           Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
21
22       -d, --httpd
23           The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed. Command-line
24           options may be specified here, and the configuration file will be
25           added at the end of the command-line. Currently apache2, lighttpd,
26           mongoose and webrick are supported. (Default: lighttpd)
27
28       -m, --module-path
29           The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache). (Default:
30           /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
31
32       -p, --port
33           The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)
34
35       -b, --browser
36           The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb page. This
37           will be passed to the git web—browse helper script along with the
38           URL of the gitweb instance. See git-web—browse(1) for more
39           information about this. If the script fails, the URL will be
40           printed to stdout.
41
42       --start
43           Start the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of
44           the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
45
46       --stop
47           Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the
48           configuration files for spawning a new instance, nor does it close
49           the browser.
50
51       --restart
52           Restart the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of
53           the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
54

CONFIGURATION

56       You may specify configuration in your .git/config
57
58           [instaweb]
59                   local = true
60                   httpd = apache2 -f
61                   port = 4321
62                   browser = konqueror
63                   modulepath = /usr/lib/apache2/modules
64
65
66       If the configuration variable instaweb.browser is not set, web.browser
67       will be used instead if it is defined. See git-web—browse(1) for more
68       information about this.
