546 <h3 id="_conf_var_from_c_option_and_web_browser">CONF.VAR (from -c option) and web.browser</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
547 <div class="paragraph"><p>The web browser can be specified using a configuration variable passed
548 with the -c (or --config) command line option, or the <em>web.browser</em>
549 configuration variable if the former is not used.</p></div>
550 <h3 id="_browser_lt_tool_gt_path">browser.&lt;tool&gt;.path</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
551 <div class="paragraph"><p>You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred browser by
552 setting the configuration variable <em>browser.&lt;tool&gt;.path</em>. For example,
553 you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting
554 <em>browser.firefox.path</em>. Otherwise, <em>git web&#8212;browse</em> assumes the tool
555 is available in PATH.</p></div>
556 <h3 id="_browser_lt_tool_gt_cmd">browser.&lt;tool&gt;.cmd</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
557 <div class="paragraph"><p>When the browser, specified by options or configuration variables, is
558 not among the supported ones, then the corresponding
559 <em>browser.&lt;tool&gt;.cmd</em> configuration variable will be looked up. If this
560 variable exists then <em>git web&#45;&#45;browse</em> will treat the specified tool
561 as a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command with
562 the URLs passed as arguments.</p></div>
563 </div>
564 <h2 id="_note_about_konqueror">Note about konqueror</h2>
565 <div class="sectionbody">
566 <div class="paragraph"><p>When <em>konqueror</em> is specified by a command line option or a
567 configuration variable, we launch <em>kfmclient</em> to try to open the HTML
568 man page on an already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible.</p></div>
569 <div class="paragraph"><p>For consistency, we also try such a trick if <em>browser.konqueror.path</em> is
570 set to something like <em>A_PATH_TO/konqueror</em>. That means we will try to
571 launch <em>A_PATH_TO/kfmclient</em> instead.</p></div>
572 <div class="paragraph"><p>If you really want to use <em>konqueror</em>, then you can use something like
573 the following:</p></div>
574 <div class="listingblock">
575 <div class="content">
576 <pre><tt> [web]
577 browser = konq
579 [browser "konq"]
580 cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror</tt></pre>
581 </div></div>
582 <h3 id="_note_about_git_config_global">Note about git-config --global</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
583 <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using
584 the <em>--global</em> flag, for example like this:</p></div>
585 <div class="listingblock">
586 <div class="content">
587 <pre><tt>$ git config --global web.browser firefox</tt></pre>
588 </div></div>
