DESCRIPTION
A simple script to set up 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 apache2, lighttpd, mongoose, plackup, python and webrick are supported. (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 that should be used to view the gitweb page. This will be passed to the git web--browse helper script along with the URL of the gitweb instance. See git-web--browse(1) for more information about this. If the script fails, the URL will be printed to stdout. 
- start
- --start
- 
Start the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance. 
- stop
- --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
- 
Restart the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.
