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)

	  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 specify 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--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--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 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. See
       git-config(1) for more information about this.
