git-instaweb: Stop the currently running GitWeb server.
$ git instaweb --stop
try on your machine

The git instaweb --stop command is used to stop the web server that was started using the git instaweb command.

When you run git instaweb, it starts a simple web server that allows you to browse your Git repository using a web browser. This can be useful if you want to quickly view the commit history, branches, and files in your repository through a user-friendly interface.

To stop the web server, you can use git instaweb --stop. This command will terminate the web server process, allowing you to reclaim the system resources it was using.

After executing git instaweb --stop, you will no longer be able to access your repository through the web interface. If you want to start the web server again, you will need to use the git instaweb command.
