git-web--browse(1)



NAME

   git-web--browse - Git helper script to launch a web browser

SYNOPSIS

   git web--browse [OPTIONS] URL/FILE ...

DESCRIPTION

   This script tries, as much as possible, to display the URLs and FILEs
   that are passed as arguments, as HTML pages in new tabs on an already
   opened web browser.

   The following browsers (or commands) are currently supported:

   *   firefox (this is the default under X Window when not using KDE)

   *   iceweasel

   *   seamonkey

   *   iceape

   *   chromium (also supported as chromium-browser)

   *   google-chrome (also supported as chrome)

   *   konqueror (this is the default under KDE, see Note about konqueror
       below)

   *   opera

   *   w3m (this is the default outside graphical environments)

   *   elinks

   *   links

   *   lynx

   *   dillo

   *   open (this is the default under Mac OS X GUI)

   *   start (this is the default under MinGW)

   *   cygstart (this is the default under Cygwin)

   *   xdg-open

   Custom commands may also be specified.

OPTIONS

   -b <browser>, --browser=<browser>
       Use the specified browser. It must be in the list of supported
       browsers.

   -t <browser>, --tool=<browser>
       Same as above.

   -c <conf.var>, --config=<conf.var>
       CONF.VAR is looked up in the Git config files. If it's set, then
       its value specifies the browser that should be used.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

   CONF.VAR (from -c option) and web.browser
   The web browser can be specified using a configuration variable passed
   with the -c (or --config) command-line option, or the web.browser
   configuration variable if the former is not used.

   browser.<tool>.path
   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.

   browser.<tool>.cmd
   When the browser, specified by options or configuration variables, is
   not among the supported ones, then the corresponding browser.<tool>.cmd
   configuration variable will be looked up. If this variable exists then
   git web--browse will treat the specified tool as a custom command and
   will use a shell eval to run the command with the URLs passed as
   arguments.

NOTE ABOUT KONQUEROR

   When konqueror is specified by a command-line option or a configuration
   variable, we launch kfmclient to try to open the HTML man page on an
   already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible.

   For consistency, we also try such a trick if browser.konqueror.path is
   set to something like A_PATH_TO/konqueror. That means we will try to
   launch A_PATH_TO/kfmclient instead.

   If you really want to use konqueror, then you can use something like
   the following:

               [web]
                       browser = konq

               [browser "konq"]
                       cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror

   Note about git-config --global
   Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using
   the --global flag, for example like this:

       $ git config --global web.browser firefox

   as they are probably more user specific than repository specific. See
   git-config(1) for more information about this.
