git-instaweb(1) =============== NAME ---- git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'git instaweb' [--local] [--httpd=] [--port=] [--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{litdd}browse' helper script along with the URL of the gitweb instance. See linkgit:git-web{litdd}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.
