7 cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
12 Cgitrc contains all runtime settings for cgit, including the list of git
13 repositories, formatted as a line-separated list of NAME=VALUE pairs. Blank
14 lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored.
19 The default location of cgitrc, defined at compile time, is /etc/cgitrc. At
20 runtime, cgit will consult the environment variable CGIT_CONFIG and, if
21 defined, use its value instead.
27 Specifies a command which will be invoked to format the content of
28 about pages (both top-level and for each repository). The command will
29 get the content of the about-file on its STDIN, and the STDOUT from the
30 command will be included verbatim on the about page. Default value:
34 Specifies a path, relative to each repository path, which can be used
35 to specify the date and time of the youngest commit in the repository.
36 The first line in the file is used as input to the "parse_date"
37 function in libgit. Recommended timestamp-format is "yyyy-mm-dd
38 hh:mm:ss". Default value: "info/web/last-modified".

51 version of the repository summary page. Default value: "5".
54 Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
55 version of the repository index page. Default value: "5".
58 Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the result
59 of scanning a path for git repositories. Default value: "15".

63 (i.e. caching is disabled).
66 Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
67 version of repository pages accessed with a fixed SHA1. Default value:
71 Space-separated list of common prefixes which, when combined with a
72 repository url, generates valid clone urls for the repository. This
73 setting is only used if `repo.clone-url` is unspecified. Default value:
77 Specifies a command which will be invoked to format commit messages.
78 The command will get the message on its STDIN, and the STDOUT from the

185 formatstring are the path and SHA1 of the submodule commit. Default
186 value: "./?repo=%s&page=commit&id=%s"
189 If set to the value "1" caching will be disabled. This settings is

198 Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit omit the standard header
199 on all pages. Default value: none. See also: "embedded".
202 Maximum number of files to consider when detecting renames. The value

264 will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
265 '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default

274 "enable-filter-overrides".
277 A list of space-separated urls which can be used to clone this repo.
281 Override the default commit-filter. Default value: none. See also:

322 "snapshots" global setting. Default value: <snapshots>.
325 Override the current section name for this repository. Default value:
329 Override the default source-filter. Default value: none. See also:

337 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
338 -------------------------------
339 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
340 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
341 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
342 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
343 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
344 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
346 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
347 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".

419 ## List of repositories.
420 ## PS: Any repositories listed when repo.group is unset will not be
421 ## displayed under a group heading
422 ## PPS: This list could be kept in a different file (e.g. '/etc/cgitrepos')
423 ## and included like this:
424 ## include=/etc/cgitrepos
429 repo.path=/pub/git/foo.git
430 repo.desc=the master foo repository
431 repo.owner=fooman@foobar.com
432 repo.readme=info/web/about.html
436 repo.path=/pub/git/bar.git
437 repo.desc=the bars for your foo
438 repo.owner=barman@foobar.com
439 repo.readme=info/web/about.html
442 # The next repositories will be displayed under the 'extras' heading
447 repo.path=/pub/git/baz.git
448 repo.desc=a set of extensions for bar users
451 repo.path=/pub/git/wiz.git
452 repo.desc=the wizard of foo
455 # Add some mirrored repositories
460 repo.path=/pub/git/git.git
465 repo.path=/pub/git/linux.git
468 # Disable adhoc downloads of this repo
471 # Disable line-counts for this repo
472 repo.enable-log-linecount=0
474 # Restrict the max statistics period for this repo
481 Comments currently cannot appear on the same line as a setting; the comment
482 will be included as part of the value. E.g. this line:
484 robots=index # allow indexing
486 will generate the following html element:
488 <meta name='robots' content='index # allow indexing'/>
