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, plackup 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{litdd}browse' helper
48 script along with the URL of the gitweb instance. See
49 linkgit:git-web{litdd}browse[1] for more information about this. If
50 the script fails, the URL will be printed to stdout.

54 Start the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
55 any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.

60 any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance,
61 nor does it close the browser.
