1git-web--browse(1) 2================== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-web--browse - git helper script to launch a web browser 7 8SYNOPSIS 9-------- 10'git-web--browse' [OPTIONS] URL/FILE ... 11 12DESCRIPTION 13----------- 14 15This script tries, as much as possible, to display the URLs and FILEs 16that are passed as arguments, as HTML pages in new tabs on an already 17opened web browser. 18 19The following browsers (or commands) are currently supported: 20 21* firefox (this is the default under X Window when not using KDE) 22* iceweasel 23* konqueror (this is the default under KDE) 24* w3m (this is the default outside graphical environments) 25* links 26* lynx 27* dillo 28* open (this is the default under Mac OS X GUI) 29 30OPTIONS 31------- 32-b BROWSER|--browser=BROWSER:: 33 Use the specified BROWSER. It must be in the list of supported 34 browsers. 35 36-t BROWSER|--tool=BROWSER:: 37 Same as above. 38 39-c CONF.VAR|--config=CONF.VAR:: 40 CONF.VAR is looked up in the git config files. If it's set, 41 then its value specify the browser that should be used. 42 43CONFIGURATION VARIABLES 44----------------------- 45 46The web browser can be specified using a configuration variable passed 47with the -c (or --config) command line option, or the 'web.browser' 48configuration variable if the former is not used. 49 50You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred browser by 51setting the configuration variable 'browser.<tool>.path'. For example, 52you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting 53'browser.firefox.path'. Otherwise, 'git-web--browse' assumes the tool 54is available in PATH. 55 56Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using 57the '--global' flag, for example like this: 58 59------------------------------------------------ 60$ git config --global web.browser firefox 61------------------------------------------------ 62 63as they are probably more user specific than repository specific. 64See linkgit:git-config[1] for more information about this. 65 66Author 67------ 68Written by Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> and the git-list 69<git@vger.kernel.org>, based on git-mergetool by Theodore Y.
