GIT-INSTAWEB(1)                                                GIT-INSTAWEB(1)



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 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. 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 git-web--browse(1) for more
       information about this.
