git-instaweb − Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb
git
instaweb [−−local]
[−−httpd=<httpd>]
[−−port=<port>]
[−−browser=<browser>]
git instaweb [−−start] [−−stop]
[−−restart]
A simple script to set up gitweb and a web server for browsing the local repository.
−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, python 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.
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.
