10 cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
15 Cgitrc contains all runtime settings for cgit, including the list of git
16 repositories, formatted as a line-separated list of NAME=VALUE pairs. Blank
17 lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored.
22 The default location of cgitrc, defined at compile time, is /etc/cgitrc. At
23 runtime, cgit will consult the environment variable CGIT_CONFIG and, if
24 defined, use its value instead.
30 Specifies a command which will be invoked to format the content of
31 about pages (both top-level and for each repository). The command will
32 get the content of the about-file on its STDIN, and the STDOUT from the
33 command will be included verbatim on the about page. Default value:
37 Specifies a path, relative to each repository path, which can be used
38 to specify the date and time of the youngest commit in the repository.
39 The first line in the file is used as input to the "parse_date"

69 Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
70 version of repository pages accessed with a fixed SHA1. Default value:
74 Space-separated list of common prefixes which, when combined with a
75 repository url, generates valid clone urls for the repository. This
76 setting is only used if `repo.clone-url` is unspecified. Default value:
80 Specifies a command which will be invoked to format commit messages.
81 The command will get the message on its STDIN, and the STDOUT from the

265 the result will be cached as a cgitrc include-file in the cache
266 directory. If project-list has been defined prior to scan-path,
267 scan-path loads only the directories listed in the file pointed to by
268 project-list. Default value: none. See also: cache-scanrc-ttl,

364 An absolute path to the repository directory. For non-bare repositories
365 this is the .git-directory. Default value: none.

388 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
389 -------------------------------
390 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
391 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
392 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
393 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
394 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
395 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
397 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
398 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".

470 ## List of repositories.
471 ## PS: Any repositories listed when section is unset will not be
472 ## displayed under a section heading
473 ## PPS: This list could be kept in a different file (e.g. '/etc/cgitrepos')
474 ## and included like this:
475 ## include=/etc/cgitrepos
480 repo.path=/pub/git/foo.git
481 repo.desc=the master foo repository
482 repo.owner=fooman@foobar.com
483 repo.readme=info/web/about.html
487 repo.path=/pub/git/bar.git
488 repo.desc=the bars for your foo
489 repo.owner=barman@foobar.com
490 repo.readme=info/web/about.html
493 # The next repositories will be displayed under the 'extras' heading
498 repo.path=/pub/git/baz.git
499 repo.desc=a set of extensions for bar users
502 repo.path=/pub/git/wiz.git
503 repo.desc=the wizard of foo
506 # Add some mirrored repositories
511 repo.path=/pub/git/git.git
516 repo.path=/pub/git/linux.git
519 # Disable adhoc downloads of this repo
522 # Disable line-counts for this repo
523 repo.enable-log-linecount=0
525 # Restrict the max statistics period for this repo
532 Comments currently cannot appear on the same line as a setting; the comment
533 will be included as part of the value. E.g. this line:
535 robots=index # allow indexing
537 will generate the following html element:
539 <meta name='robots' content='index # allow indexing'/>
