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.

DESCRIPTION

A simple script to set up gitweb and a web server for browsing the local repository.
