NAME

|
----
|
|
git-web--browse - Git helper script to launch a web browser
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git web{litdd}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
|
|
* seamonkey
|
|
* iceape
|
|
* chromium (also supported as chromium-browser)
|
|
* google-chrome (also supported as chrome)
|
|
* konqueror (this is the default under KDE, see 'Note about konqueror' below)
|
|
* opera
|
|
* w3m (this is the default outside graphical environments)
|
|
* elinks
|
|
* links
|
|
* lynx
|
|
* dillo
|
|
* open (this is the default under Mac OS X GUI)
|
|
* start (this is the default under MinGW)
|
|
* cygstart (this is the default under Cygwin)
|
|
* xdg-open
|
|
|
|
Custom commands may also be specified.
|
|
|
|
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 specifies the browser that should be used.
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
CONF.VAR (from -c option) and web.browser
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
browser.<tool>.path
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
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{litdd}browse' assumes the tool
|
|
is available in PATH.
|
|
|
|
browser.<tool>.cmd
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When the browser, specified by options or configuration variables, is
|
|
not among the supported ones, then the corresponding
|
|
`browser.<tool>.cmd` configuration variable will be looked up. If this
|
|
variable exists then 'git web{litdd}browse' will treat the specified tool
|
|
as a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command with
|
|
the URLs passed as arguments.
|
|
|
|
NOTE ABOUT KONQUEROR
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
When 'konqueror' is specified by a command-line option or a
|
|
configuration variable, we launch 'kfmclient' to try to open the HTML
|
|
man page on an already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible.
|
|
|
|
For consistency, we also try such a trick if 'browser.konqueror.path' is
|
|
set to something like `A_PATH_TO/konqueror`. That means we will try to
|
|
launch `A_PATH_TO/kfmclient` instead.
|
|
|
|
If you really want to use 'konqueror', then you can use something like
|
|
the following:
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
[web]
|
|
browser = konq
|
|
|
|
[browser "konq"]
|
|
cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Note about git-config --global
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
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.
