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 setup 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, lighttpd and apache2 are the only supported servers. (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 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
Start the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
--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 the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
