Websourcebrowser

Purpose

Websourcebrowser makes it easy to visually scan trees of source code. In particular, you can view the directory tree and the source code of a file side by side, so you can quickly change to a different file. Get release 0.4 (alpha).

Features

• Platform-independent, any JavaScript-enabled web browser can be used to view the source code
• Includes a small webserver, so the source code and the browser to view it can be on different computers
• By default, they are on the same computer :-)
• If ​Pygments is installed on the server side, which may be the local computer, source code is highlighted automatically
• Image files supported by the browser are displayed
• Archives (tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, zip) are displayed as a list of the contained directories and files
• Written in portable ​Python
• ​Open Source (​MIT license)

Website contents

• Documentation in ManPage style (see also InstallationInstructions for the installation)
• Download
• ScreenShots
• DesignGoals
• Ideas for future development
• MailingList information (the list is hosted by ​Codespeak)
• Ticket browser
• Enter a new ticket (requires the username wsbuser and password wsb)
• Source code history browser (Trac, not Websourcebrowser)
• Development source code (SourceRepository)
