  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, python and
  33         webrick are supported.
  34         (Default: lighttpd)
  35
  36 -m::
  37 --module-path::
  38         The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache).
  39         (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
  40
  41 -p::
  42 --port::
  43         The port number to bind the httpd to.  (Default: 1234)
  44
  45 -b::
  46 --browser::
  47         The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb
  48         page. This will be passed to the 'git web{litdd}browse' helper
  49         script along with the URL of the gitweb instance. See
  50         linkgit:git-web{litdd}browse[1] for more information about this. If
  51         the script fails, the URL will be printed to stdout.
  52
  53 start::
  54 --start::
  55         Start the httpd instance and exit.  Regenerate configuration files
  56         as necessary for spawning a new instance.
  57
  58 stop::
  59 --stop::
  60         Stop the httpd instance and exit.  This does not generate
  61         any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance,
  62         nor does it close the browser.
  63
  64 restart::
  65 --restart::
  66         Restart the httpd instance and exit.  Regenerate configuration files
  67         as necessary for spawning a new instance.
