  18repository.

  20OPTIONS
  21-------
  22
  23-l|--local::
  24        Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
  25
  26-d|--httpd::
  27        The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed.
  28        Command-line options may be specified here, and the
  29        configuration file will be added at the end of the command-line.
  30        Currently, lighttpd and apache2 are the only supported servers.
  31        (Default: lighttpd)
  32
  33-m|--module-path::
  34        The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache).
  35        (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
  36
  37-p|--port::
  38        The port number to bind the httpd to.  (Default: 1234)
  39
  40-b|--browser::
  41
  42        The web browser command-line to execute to view the gitweb page.
  43        If blank, the URL of the gitweb instance will be printed to
  44        stdout.  (Default: 'firefox')
  45
  46--start::
  47        Start the httpd instance and exit.  This does not generate
  48        any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
  49
  50--stop::
  51        Stop the httpd instance and exit.  This does not generate
  52        any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance,
  53        nor does it close the browser.
  54
  55--restart::
  56        Restart the httpd instance and exit.  This does not generate
  57        any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
