  15 DESCRIPTION
  16 -----------
  17 A simple script to setup gitweb and a web server for browsing the local
  18 repository.
  19
  20 OPTIONS
  21 -------
  22
  23 -l|--local::
  24         Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
  25
  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)
  32
  33 -m|--module-path::
  34         The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache).
  35         (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
  36
  37 -p|--port::
  38         The port number to bind the httpd to.  (Default: 1234)
  39
  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.
  46
  47 --start::
  48         Start the httpd instance and exit.  This does not generate
  49         any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
  50
  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.
  55
  56 --restart::
  57         Restart the httpd instance and exit.  This does not generate
  58         any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
