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 setup 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 lighttpd, apache2 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 linkgit:git-web--browse[1] for more information about this. If the script fails, the URL will be printed to stdout. --start:: Start the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance. --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 the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
