git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb
A simple script to setup gitweb and a web server for browsing the local repository.
Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
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 lighttpd, apache2 and webrick are supported. (Default: lighttpd)
The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache). (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)
The web browser command-line to execute to view the gitweb page. If blank, the URL of the gitweb instance will be printed to stdout. (Default: firefox)
Start the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
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 the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
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.
