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:
34 none. See also: "FILTER API".
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"
40 function in libgit. Recommended timestamp-format is "yyyy-mm-dd
41 hh:mm:ss". Default value: "info/web/last-modified".
44 Path used to store the cgit cache entries. Default value:

62 of scanning a path for git repositories. Default value: "15".
65 The maximum number of entries in the cgit cache. Default value: "0"
66 (i.e. caching is disabled).
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
82 command will be included verbatim as the commit message, i.e. this can

285 directories whose name starts with a period ('.'). Otherwise,
286 scan-path will stay away from such directories (considered as

322 Specifies a command which will be invoked to format plaintext blobs
323 in the tree view. The command will get the blob content on its STDIN
324 and the name of the blob as its only command line argument. The STDOUT
325 from the command will be included verbatim as the blob contents, i.e.
326 this can be used to implement e.g. syntax highlighting. Default value:
327 none. See also: "FILTER API".
330 Specifies the number of branches to display in the repository "summary"
331 view. Default value: "10".

339 view. Default value: "10".
342 Filename which, if specified, needs to be present within the repository
343 for cgit to allow access to that repository. This can be used to emulate
344 gitweb's EXPORT_OK and STRICT_EXPORT functionality and limit cgit's
345 repositories to match those exported by git-daemon. This option MUST come
349 Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It
350 will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
351 '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
353 NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
354 same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.

392 in the summary and refs views. Default value: <enable-remote-branches>.
394 repo.enable-subject-links::
395 A flag which can be used to override the global setting
396 `enable-subject-links'. Default value: none.
399 Url which specifies the source of an image which will be used as a logo
400 on this repo's pages. Default value: global logo.
403 Url loaded when clicking on the cgit logo image. If unspecified the
404 calculated url of the repository index page will be used. Default
405 value: global logo-link.
408 Override the default maximum statistics period. Valid values are equal
409 to the values specified for the global "max-stats" setting. Default

443 setting specified for each repo. Default value: none.
446 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
447 -------------------------------
448 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
449 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
450 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
451 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
452 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
453 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
455 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
456 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
462 This filter is given no arguments.
463 The about text that is to be filtered is available on standard input and the
464 filtered text is expected on standard output.
466 This filter is given no arguments.
467 The commit message text that is to be filtered is available on standard input
468 and the filtered text is expected on standard output.
470 This filter is given a single parameter: the filename of the source file to
471 filter. The filter can use the filename to determine (for example) the syntax
473 The contents of the source file that is to be filtered is available on
474 standard input and the filtered contents is expected on standard output.
476 Also, all filters are handed the following environment variables:
477 - CGIT_REPO_URL ( = repo.url setting )
478 - CGIT_REPO_NAME ( = repo.name setting )
479 - CGIT_REPO_PATH ( = repo.path setting )
480 - CGIT_REPO_OWNER ( = repo.owner setting )
481 - CGIT_REPO_DEFBRANCH ( = repo.defbranch setting )
482 - CGIT_REPO_SECTION ( = section setting )
483 - CGIT_REPO_CLONE_URL ( = repo.clone-url setting )
485 If a setting is not defined for a repository and the corresponding global
486 setting is also not defined (if applicable), then the corresponding
487 environment variable will be an empty string.
489 Note that under normal circumstance all these environment variables are
490 defined. If however the total size of the defined settings exceed the
491 allocated buffer within cgit then only the environment variables that fit
492 in the allocated buffer are handed to the filter.
