$ git instaweb --restart

try on your machine

The git instaweb --restart command is used to restart the Gitweb server that was launched using the git instaweb command.

Gitweb is a web-based interface for browsing Git repositories, and the git instaweb command is used to start a temporary web server to serve the Git repositories. This server allows you to view the repositories through a web browser.

When you launch the instaweb server using git instaweb, it provides you with a URL that you can open in a web browser to access and browse the Git repositories. However, the server will only run until you stop it or until a specific timeout period.

If you need to restart the server, you can use the git instaweb --restart command. This command will stop the existing server (if running) and start a new instance of the server with the same configuration. It ensures that any changes or updates to the repositories are reflected in the web interface.

In summary, git instaweb --restart is a command used to restart the Gitweb server that was launched using git instaweb, allowing you to browse Git repositories through a web-based interface.
