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.

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

211 on all pages. Default value: none. See also: "embedded".

353 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
354 -------------------------------
355 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
356 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
357 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
358 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
359 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
360 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
362 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
363 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".

435 ## List of repositories.
436 ## PS: Any repositories listed when section is unset will not be
437 ## displayed under a section heading
438 ## PPS: This list could be kept in a different file (e.g. '/etc/cgitrepos')
439 ## and included like this:
440 ## include=/etc/cgitrepos
445 repo.path=/pub/git/foo.git
446 repo.desc=the master foo repository
447 repo.owner=fooman@foobar.com
448 repo.readme=info/web/about.html
452 repo.path=/pub/git/bar.git
453 repo.desc=the bars for your foo
454 repo.owner=barman@foobar.com
455 repo.readme=info/web/about.html
458 # The next repositories will be displayed under the 'extras' heading
463 repo.path=/pub/git/baz.git
464 repo.desc=a set of extensions for bar users
467 repo.path=/pub/git/wiz.git
468 repo.desc=the wizard of foo
471 # Add some mirrored repositories
476 repo.path=/pub/git/git.git
481 repo.path=/pub/git/linux.git
484 # Disable adhoc downloads of this repo
487 # Disable line-counts for this repo
488 repo.enable-log-linecount=0
490 # Restrict the max statistics period for this repo
497 Comments currently cannot appear on the same line as a setting; the comment
498 will be included as part of the value. E.g. this line:
500 robots=index # allow indexing
502 will generate the following html element:
504 <meta name='robots' content='index # allow indexing'/>
