| 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. |
