In cygwin you can use lynx, links and others, but they are not as smart to use as a browser with a real gui. Cygwin can't handle windows paths, and this patch will break cygwin based browsers like links... My first idea was to patch the git-web--browse.sh script in the section where the browser is called. -------- diff --git a/git-web--browse.sh b/git-web--browse.sh index 78d236b..f726f8f 100755 --- a/git-web--browse.sh +++ b/git-web--browse.sh @@ -143,7 +143,7 @@ case "$browser" in vers=$(expr "$($browser_path -version)" : '.* \([0-9][0-9]*\)\..*') NEWTAB='-new-tab' test "$vers" -lt 2 && NEWTAB='' - "$browser_path" $NEWTAB "$@" & + "$browser_path" $NEWTAB "`cygpath -w $@`" & ;; konqueror) case "$(basename "$browser_path")" in -------- This solution works for cygwin internal browsers where the posix path is required and it works for windows apps called out of the cygwin environment as well. This is certainely not a proper solution but I've got no other idea how to solve the problem.
