git-web--browse(1) |
||||
================== |
||||
|
||||
NAME |
||||
---- |
||||
git-web--browse - git helper script to launch a web browser |
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS |
||||
-------- |
||||
'git-web--browse' [OPTIONS] URL/FILE ... |
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION |
||||
----------- |
||||
|
||||
This script tries, as much as possible, to display the URLs and FILEs |
||||
that are passed as arguments, as HTML pages in new tabs on an already |
||||
opened web browser. |
||||
|
||||
The following browsers (or commands) are currently supported: |
||||
|
||||
* firefox (this is the default under X Window when not using KDE) |
||||
* iceweasel |
||||
* konqueror (this is the default under KDE) |
||||
* w3m (this is the default outside graphical environments) |
||||
* links |
||||
* lynx |
||||
* dillo |
||||
* open (this is the default under Mac OS X GUI) |
||||
|
||||
OPTIONS |
||||
------- |
||||
-b BROWSER|--browser=BROWSER:: |
||||
Use the specified BROWSER. It must be in the list of supported |
||||
browsers. |
||||
|
||||
-t BROWSER|--tool=BROWSER:: |
||||
Same as above. |
||||
|
||||
-c CONF.VAR|--config=CONF.VAR:: |
||||
CONF.VAR is looked up in the git config files. If it's set, |
||||
then its value specify the browser that should be used. |
||||
|
||||
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES |
||||
----------------------- |
||||
|
||||
The web browser can be specified using a configuration variable passed |
||||
with the -c (or --config) command line option, or the 'web.browser' |
||||
configuration variable if the former is not used. |
||||
|
||||
You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred browser by |
||||
setting the configuration variable 'browser.<tool>.path'. For example, |
||||
you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting |
||||
'browser.firefox.path'. Otherwise, 'git-web--browse' assumes the tool |
||||
is available in PATH. |
||||
|
||||
Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using |
||||
the '--global' flag, for example like this: |
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------ |
||||
$ git config --global web.browser firefox |
||||
------------------------------------------------ |
||||
|
||||
as they are probably more user specific than repository specific. |
||||
See linkgit:git-config[1] for more information about this. |
