It may be easier to use a graphical interface like gitk to view the repository outside of the command line than setting up gitweb. tig, a console repository viewer, is also quite handy. Alternately, the 'git instaweb' command can spawn gitweb for a single repository fairly easily. It can use a number of different web servers, lighttpd is one of the simplest -- requiring no manual configuration. >> If you open a particular commit, the options button has "Email patches" and >> "Plain diff" views.

I know Kevin already clarified this in another reply, but perhaps some additional details will help. The fix is simply on a different branch. You can -- with any git release from the past few years -- checkout an upstream branch pretty easily. For this patch on the branch kevin/stable-oauth-fix, you could use: $ git checkout kevin/stable-oauth-fix Branch 'kevin/stable-oauth-fix' set up to track remote branch 'kevin/stable-oauth-fix' from 'origin'. Switched to a new branch 'kevin/stable-oauth-fix' If you don't already have a repo cloned and want to clone a specific branch, you can do that as well with the --branch option to 'git clone', e.g.: $ git clone --branch kevin/stable-oauth-fix \ https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt.git Hope this helps (and isn't too far off-topic). :) -- Todd
