First git web--browse is a plumbing shell script to display documentation on a web browser when you type something like "git help -w log". It is not really supposed to be used directly by the user. On OS X it might be simpler to just type "open http://google.com";. That said there is the following in it to make it work on OS X: # SECURITYSESSIONID indicates an OS X GUI login session if test -n "$SECURITYSESSIONID" \ -o "$TERM_PROGRAM" = "Apple_Terminal" ; then browser_candidates="open $browser_candidates" fi So I guess that you don't have SECURITYSESSIONID set in your terminal and you are not using Apple Terminal. As I am not using OS X, I have no idea how to improve the script in this case. > I also tried with '--browser=chrome' and '--browser=google-chrome' but > the responded with 'The browser chrome is not available as 'chrome'.' Could you try something like: "chromium http://google.com"; or "chromium-browser http://google.com"; If it works, then using 'git web--browse' with '--browser=chromium' or '--browser=chromium-browser' should work. Otherwise did you try "chrome http://google.com"; and "google-chrome http://google.com";? > I expected the command to open a new tab in my browser in each of the 3 tries. > This has worked for my system before. > > OS X 10.8.2, git 1.8.2, Google Chrome 27.0.1438.7 dev Thanks, Christian. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
