NAME ---- git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb
SYNOPSIS --------
’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, 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{litdd}browse’ helper script along with the URL of the gitweb instance. See git-webbrowse[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.
