  17 A simple script to set up `gitweb` and a web server for browsing the local
  18 repository.
  19
  20 OPTIONS
  21 -------
  22
  23 -l::
  24 --local::
  25         Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
  26
  27 -d::
  28 --httpd::
  29         The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed.
  30         Command-line options may be specified here, and the
  31         configuration file will be added at the end of the command-line.
  32         Currently apache2, lighttpd, mongoose, plackup and webrick are supported.
  33         (Default: lighttpd)
  34
  35 -m::
  36 --module-path::
  37         The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache).
  38         (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
  39
  40 -p::
  41 --port::
  42         The port number to bind the httpd to.  (Default: 1234)
  43
  44 -b::
  45 --browser::
  46         The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb
  47         page. This will be passed to the 'git web{litdd}browse' helper
  48         script along with the URL of the gitweb instance. See
  49         linkgit:git-web{litdd}browse[1] for more information about this. If
  50         the script fails, the URL will be printed to stdout.
  51
  52 start::
  53 --start::
  54         Start the httpd instance and exit.  This does not generate
  55         any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
  56
  57 stop::
  58 --stop::
  59         Stop the httpd instance and exit.  This does not generate
  60         any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance,
  61         nor does it close the browser.
  62
  63 restart::
  64 --restart::
  65         Restart the httpd instance and exit.  This does not generate
  66         any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
