15 DESCRIPTION
16 -----------
17 A simple script to set up `gitweb` and a web server for browsing the local
18 repository.
20 OPTIONS
21 -------
23 -l::
24 --local::
25 Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
27 -d::
28 --httpd::
29 The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed.
30 Command-line options may be specified here, and the
31 configuration file will be added at the end of the command-line.
32 Currently apache2, lighttpd, mongoose and webrick are supported.
33 (Default: lighttpd)
35 -m::
36 --module-path::
37 The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache).
38 (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
40 -p::
41 --port::
42 The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)
44 -b::
45 --browser::
46 The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb
47 page. This will be passed to the 'git-web--browse' helper
48 script along with the URL of the gitweb instance. See
49 linkgit:git-web--browse[1] for more information about this. If
50 the script fails, the URL will be printed to stdout.
52 --start::
53 Start the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
54 any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
56 --stop::
57 Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
58 any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance,
59 nor does it close the browser.
61 --restart::
62 Restart the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
63 any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
