===============

NAME
----
git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'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{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.  This does not generate
	any of the configuration files 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.  This does not generate
	any of the configuration files 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
linkgit:git-web{litdd}browse[1] for more information about this.
