9 git instaweb [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>]
10 [--browser=<browser>]
11 git instaweb [--start] [--stop] [--restart]
12
14 A simple script to set up gitweb and a web server for browsing the
15 local repository.
16
18 -l, --local
19 Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
20
21 -d, --httpd
22 The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed. Command-line
23 options may be specified here, and the configuration file will be
24 added at the end of the command-line. Currently apache2, lighttpd,
25 mongoose, plackup, python and webrick are supported. (Default:
26 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, --start
43 Start the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files
44 as necessary for spawning a new instance.
45
46 stop, --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, --restart
52 Restart the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files
53 as necessary for spawning a new instance.
54
56 You may specify configuration in your .git/config

59 local = true
60 httpd = apache2 -f
61 port = 4321
62 browser = konqueror
63 modulePath = /usr/lib/apache2/modules
64
65 If the configuration variable instaweb.browser is not set, web.browser
66 will be used instead if it is defined. See git-web--browse(1) for more
67 information about this.
