exist?
@Rudic sorry that was by overlook. With parameter 3 the row returned should be the third row ie.
Code:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 user1 user 21624 Feb 11 17:13 httpd.conf_1581421456

Likewise when the user passes 4 the 4th latest row should be returned i.e
Code:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 user1 user 15445 Feb 11 15:39 httpd-ssl.conf_1581421372

But, as I shared the output of your suggestion i get a list of rows and not that single particular row corresponding to the argument passed to the script.

@vbe thank you for the points you highlighted however, the parameter is checked by a Jenkins UI tool and my script will only be executed once a number is passed to that script by the user. Thus the argument to my script is certainly an integer.

Kindly suggest

git-instaweb

GIT-INSTAWEB(1) 						    Git Manual							   GIT-INSTAWEB(1)

NAME

       git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb

SYNOPSIS

       git instaweb [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>]
		      [--browser=<browser>]
       git instaweb [--start] [--stop] [--restart]

DESCRIPTION

       A simple script to set up gitweb and a web server for browsing the local repository.

OPTIONS

       -l, --local
	   Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).

       -d, --httpd
	   The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed. Command-line options may be specified here, and the configuration file will be
	   added at the end of the command-line. Currently apache2, lighttpd, mongoose, plackup and webrick are supported. (Default: lighttpd)

       -m, --module-path
	   The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache). (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)

       -p, --port
	   The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)

       -b, --browser
	   The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb page. This will be passed to the git web--browse helper script along with the
	   URL of the gitweb instance. See git-web--browse(1) for more information about this. If the script fails, the URL will be printed to
	   stdout.

       start, --start
	   Start the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.

       stop, --stop
	   Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance, nor does it close
	   the browser.

       restart, --restart
	   Restart the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.

CONFIGURATION

       You may specify configuration in your .git/config

	   [instaweb]
		   local = true
		   httpd = apache2 -f
		   port = 4321
		   browser = konqueror
		   modulepath = /usr/lib/apache2/modules

       If the configuration variable instaweb.browser is not set, web.browser will be used instead if it is defined. See git-web--browse(1) for
       more information about this.
