8 SYNOPSIS
9 --------
10 [verse]
11 'git-instaweb' [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>]
12 [--browser=<browser>]
13 'git-instaweb' [--start] [--stop] [--restart]
15 DESCRIPTION
16 -----------
17 A simple script to setup gitweb and a web server for browsing the local
18 repository.
20 OPTIONS
21 -------
23 -l|--local::
24 Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
26 -d|--httpd::
27 The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed.
28 Command-line options may be specified here, and the
29 configuration file will be added at the end of the command-line.
30 Currently lighttpd, apache2 and webrick are supported.
31 (Default: lighttpd)
33 -m|--module-path::
34 The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache).
35 (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
37 -p|--port::
38 The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)
40 -b|--browser::
41 The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb
42 page. This will be passed to the 'git-web--browse' helper
43 script along with the URL of the gitweb instance. See
44 linkgit:git-web--browse[1] for more information about this. If
45 the script fails, the URL will be printed to stdout.
47 --start::
48 Start the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
49 any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
51 --stop::
52 Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
53 any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance,
54 nor does it close the browser.
56 --restart::
57 Restart the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
58 any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
