git-instaweb(1)



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 set up 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 apache2, lighttpd,
       mongoose, plackup 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
       Start the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files
       as necessary for spawning a new instance.

   stop, --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
       Restart the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files
       as necessary 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.
