4 | NAME | |
5 | ---- | |
6 | git-web--browse - git helper script to launch a web browser | |
7 | ||
8 | SYNOPSIS | |
9 | -------- | |
28394787 | 10 | 'git web{litdd}browse' [OPTIONS] URL/FILE ... |
cb45f83c CC |
11 | |
12 | DESCRIPTION | |
13 | ----------- | |
14 | ||
15 | This script tries, as much as possible, to display the URLs and FILEs | |
16 | that are passed as arguments, as HTML pages in new tabs on an already | |
17 | opened web browser. | |
18 | ||
19 | The following browsers (or commands) are currently supported: | |
20 | ||
21 | * firefox (this is the default under X Window when not using KDE) | |
22 | * iceweasel | |
ac3a4a26 | 23 | * konqueror (this is the default under KDE, see 'Note about konqueror' below) |
cb45f83c CC |
24 | * w3m (this is the default outside graphical environments) |
25 | * links | |
26 | * lynx | |
27 | * dillo | |
28 | * open (this is the default under Mac OS X GUI) | |
3b9b1163 | 29 | * start (this is the default under MinGW) |

31 | Custom commands may also be specified. |
32 | ||

33 | OPTIONS |
34 | ------- | |
62b4698e ŠN |
35 | -b <browser>:: |
36 | --browser=<browser>:: | |
37 | Use the specified browser. It must be in the list of supported | |
cb45f83c CC |
38 | browsers. |
39 | ||
62b4698e ŠN |
40 | -t <browser>:: |
41 | --tool=<browser>:: | |
cb45f83c CC |
42 | Same as above. |
43 | ||
62b4698e ŠN |
44 | -c <conf.var>:: |
45 | --config=<conf.var>:: | |
cb45f83c | 46 | CONF.VAR is looked up in the git config files. If it's set, |
62b4698e | 47 | then its value specifies the browser that should be used. |

49 | CONFIGURATION VARIABLES | |
50 | ----------------------- | |
51 | ||
1658c614 CC |
52 | CONF.VAR (from -c option) and web.browser |
53 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
54 | ||
cb45f83c CC |
55 | The web browser can be specified using a configuration variable passed |
56 | with the -c (or --config) command line option, or the 'web.browser' | |
57 | configuration variable if the former is not used. | |
58 | ||
1658c614 CC |
59 | browser.<tool>.path |
60 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
61 | ||
cb45f83c CC |
62 | You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred browser by |
63 | setting the configuration variable 'browser.<tool>.path'. For example, | |
64 | you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting | |
0b444cdb | 65 | 'browser.firefox.path'. Otherwise, 'git web--browse' assumes the tool |
cb45f83c CC |
66 | is available in PATH. |
67 | ||
1658c614 CC |
68 | browser.<tool>.cmd |
69 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
70 | ||
71 | When the browser, specified by options or configuration variables, is | |
72 | not among the supported ones, then the corresponding | |
73 | 'browser.<tool>.cmd' configuration variable will be looked up. If this | |
28394787 | 74 | variable exists then 'git web{litdd}browse' will treat the specified tool |
1658c614 CC |
75 | as a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command with |
76 | the URLs passed as arguments. | |
77 | ||

78 | Note about konqueror |
79 | -------------------- | |
80 | ||
b66e00f1 | 81 | When 'konqueror' is specified by a command line option or a |
ac3a4a26 CC |
82 | configuration variable, we launch 'kfmclient' to try to open the HTML |
83 | man page on an already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible. | |
84 | ||
ed020917 | 85 | For consistency, we also try such a trick if 'browser.konqueror.path' is |
ac3a4a26 CC |
86 | set to something like 'A_PATH_TO/konqueror'. That means we will try to |
87 | launch 'A_PATH_TO/kfmclient' instead. | |
88 | ||
89 | If you really want to use 'konqueror', then you can use something like | |
90 | the following: | |
91 | ||
92 | ------------------------------------------------ | |
93 | [web] | |
94 | browser = konq | |
95 | ||
96 | [browser "konq"] | |
97 | cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror | |
98 | ------------------------------------------------ | |
99 | ||
b1889c36 | 100 | Note about git-config --global |
1658c614 CC |
101 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
102 | ||
cb45f83c CC |
103 | Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using |
104 | the '--global' flag, for example like this: | |
105 | ||
106 | ------------------------------------------------ | |
107 | $ git config --global web.browser firefox | |
108 | ------------------------------------------------ | |
109 | ||
110 | as they are probably more user specific than repository specific. | |
111 | See linkgit:git-config[1] for more information about this. | |
