Older versions of AsciiDoc used to literally pass double dashes when we used them in our linkgit macros and manpage titles, but newer ones (the issue was first reported with AsciiDoc 8.5.2) turn them into em dashes. Define litdd (literal double-dash) custom attribute in asciidoc.conf to work this around. While we are at it, fix a few double-dashes (e.g. the description of "project--devo--version" convention used by tla, among other things) that used to be incorrectly written as em dashes in the body text to also use this attribute.

=======================

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-web--browse - git helper script to launch a web browser
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git web{litdd}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, see 'Note about konqueror' below)
|
|
* w3m (this is the default outside graphical environments)
|
|
* links
|
|
* lynx
|
|
* dillo
|
|
* open (this is the default under Mac OS X GUI)
|
|
* start (this is the default under MinGW)
|
|
|
|
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{litdd}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 konqueror
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
When 'konqueror' is specified by a command line option or a
|
|
configuration variable, we launch 'kfmclient' to try to open the HTML
|
|
man page on an already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible.
|
|
|
|
For consistency, we also try such a trick if 'browser.konqueror.path' is
|
|
set to something like 'A_PATH_TO/konqueror'. That means we will try to
|
|
launch 'A_PATH_TO/kfmclient' instead.
|
|
|
|
If you really want to use 'konqueror', then you can use something like
|
|
the following:
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
[web]
|
|
browser = konq
|
|
|
|
[browser "konq"]
|
|
cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
