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. | ||
