KLAUS(1)

👑 KLAUS 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the manual for klaus, section 1 of the User Commands manuals. this is the whole vibe, no gatekeeping 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

klaus — the easy-to-set-up Git web viewer. literally that's it, that's the whole job 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

klaus [OPTION]... [DIR]...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Klaus is a simple, easy-to-set-up Git web viewer that Just Works™. no cap, that trademark is doing heavy lifting and it earned it ✨

not me about to say something slightly devastating: the klaus binary just starts a test instance. the klaus script uses wsgiref internally, which does not scale at all — it's single-threaded and non-asynchronous. so like, iconic for local vibes, not for the whole internet, iykyk 💀

it supports syntax highlighting and Git Smart HTTP. yes ma'am, both. 🦋

• --site-name SITE_NAME — the site name shown in the header. default: your hostname 👑
• --version — print version number ⭐
• -b, --browser — open klaus in a browser on server start. main character energy fr fr 🌈
• -B BROWSER, --with-browser BROWSER — specify which browser to use with --browser 🧚
• --ctags {none,tags-and-branches,ALL} — enable ctags for which revisions? default: none.

⚠️ WARNING: Don't use ALL for public servers! seriously bestie, that's a public-server no-no, put it down 🙈
