11 git instaweb [--start] [--stop] [--restart]

13
15 A simple script to set up gitweb and a web server for browsing the
16 local repository.
17
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, plackup, python and webrick are supported. (Default:
27 lighttpd)
28
29 -m, --module-path
30 The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache). (Default:
31 /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
32
33 -p, --port
34 The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)
35
36 -b, --browser
37 The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb page. This
38 will be passed to the git web--browse helper script along with the
39 URL of the gitweb instance. See git-web--browse(1) for more
40 information about this. If the script fails, the URL will be
41 printed to stdout.
42
43 start, --start
44 Start the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files
45 as necessary for spawning a new instance.
46
47 stop, --stop
48 Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the
49 configuration files for spawning a new instance, nor does it close
50 the browser.
51
52 restart, --restart
53 Restart the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files
54 as necessary for spawning a new instance.
55
57 You may specify configuration in your .git/config

68 will be used instead if it is defined. See git-web--browse(1) for more
69 information about this.
