+NAME
+----
+git-instaweb - instantly browse your working repository in gitweb
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-instaweb' [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>] [--browser=<browser>]
+
+'git-instaweb' [--start] [--stop] [--restart]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+A simple script to setup gitweb and a web server for browsing the local
+repository.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+-l|--local::
+ Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
+
+-d|--httpd::
+ The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed.
+ Command-line options may be specified here, and the
+ configuration file will be added at the end of the command-line.
+ Currently, lighttpd and apache2 are the only supported servers.
+ (Default: lighttpd)
+
+-m|--module-path::
+ The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache).
+ (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
+
+-p|--port::
+ The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)
+
+-b|--browser::
+
+ The web browser command-line to execute to view the gitweb page.
+ If blank, the URL of the gitweb instance will be printed to
+ stdout. (Default: 'firefox')
+
+--start::
+ Start the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
+ any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
+
+--stop::
+ Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
+ any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance,
+ nor does it close the browser.
+
+--restart::
+ Restart the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
+ any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
