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"

41 hh:mm:ss". Default value: "info/web/last-modified".

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
83 be used to implement bugtracker integration. Default value: none.
86 Url which specifies the css document to include in all cgit pages.
87 Default value: "/cgit.css".

283 If set to "1" and scan-path is enabled, scan-path will recurse into
284 directories whose name starts with a period ('.'). Otherwise,
285 scan-path will stay away from such directories (considered as
286 "hidden"). Note that this does not apply to the ".git" directory in
287 non-bare repos. This must be defined prior to scan-path.

321 Specifies a command which will be invoked to format plaintext blobs
322 in the tree view. The command will get the blob content on its STDIN
323 and the name of the blob as its only command line argument. The STDOUT
324 from the command will be included verbatim as the blob contents, i.e.
325 this can be used to implement e.g. syntax highlighting. Default value:
329 Specifies the number of branches to display in the repository "summary"
330 view. Default value: "10".
333 Specifies the number of log entries to display in the repository
334 "summary" view. Default value: "10".

338 view. Default value: "10".
341 Filename which, if specified, needs to be present within the repository
342 for cgit to allow access to that repository. This can be used to emulate
343 gitweb's EXPORT_OK and STRICT_EXPORT functionality and limit cgit's
344 repositories to match those exported by git-daemon. This option MUST come
348 Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It
349 will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
350 '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
352 NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
353 same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.
358 Override the default about-filter. Default value: none. See also:
359 "enable-filter-overrides".
362 A list of space-separated urls which can be used to clone this repo.
366 Override the default commit-filter. Default value: none. See also:

371 exists in the repository, the first branch name (when sorted) is used
372 as default instead. Default value: "master".
375 The value to show as repository description. Default value: none.
377 repo.enable-commit-graph::
378 A flag which can be used to disable the global setting
379 `enable-commit-graph'. Default value: none.
381 repo.enable-log-filecount::
382 A flag which can be used to disable the global setting
383 `enable-log-filecount'. Default value: none.

391 in the summary and refs views. Default value: <enable-remote-branches>.
393 repo.enable-subject-links::
394 A flag which can be used to override the global setting
395 `enable-subject-links'. Default value: none.
398 Url which specifies the source of an image which will be used as a logo
399 on this repo's pages. Default value: global logo.
402 Url loaded when clicking on the cgit logo image. If unspecified the
403 calculated url of the repository index page will be used. Default
404 value: global logo-link.
407 Override the default maximum statistics period. Valid values are equal
408 to the values specified for the global "max-stats" setting. Default
412 The value to show as repository name. Default value: <repo.url>.
415 A value used to identify the owner of the repository. Default value:
419 An absolute path to the repository directory. For non-bare repositories
420 this is the .git-directory. Default value: none.
423 A path (relative to <repo.path>) which specifies a file to include
424 verbatim as the "About" page for this repo. You may also specify a
425 git refspec by head or by hash by prepending the refspec followed by
426 a colon. For example, "master:docs/readme.mkd" Default value: <readme>.
429 A mask of allowed snapshot-formats for this repo, restricted by the
430 "snapshots" global setting. Default value: <snapshots>.
433 Override the current section name for this repository. Default value:
437 Override the default source-filter. Default value: none. See also:
438 "enable-filter-overrides".

442 setting specified for each repo. Default value: none.
445 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
446 -------------------------------
447 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
448 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
449 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
450 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
451 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
452 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
454 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
455 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".

531 ## List of repositories.
532 ## PS: Any repositories listed when section is unset will not be
533 ## displayed under a section heading
534 ## PPS: This list could be kept in a different file (e.g. '/etc/cgitrepos')
535 ## and included like this:
536 ## include=/etc/cgitrepos
541 repo.path=/pub/git/foo.git
542 repo.desc=the master foo repository
543 repo.owner=fooman@example.com
544 repo.readme=info/web/about.html
548 repo.path=/pub/git/bar.git
549 repo.desc=the bars for your foo
550 repo.owner=barman@example.com
551 repo.readme=info/web/about.html
554 # The next repositories will be displayed under the 'extras' heading
559 repo.path=/pub/git/baz.git
560 repo.desc=a set of extensions for bar users
563 repo.path=/pub/git/wiz.git
564 repo.desc=the wizard of foo
567 # Add some mirrored repositories
572 repo.path=/pub/git/git.git
577 repo.path=/pub/git/linux.git
580 # Disable adhoc downloads of this repo
583 # Disable line-counts for this repo
584 repo.enable-log-linecount=0
586 # Restrict the max statistics period for this repo
593 Comments currently cannot appear on the same line as a setting; the comment
594 will be included as part of the value. E.g. this line:
596 robots=index # allow indexing
598 will generate the following html element:
600 <meta name='robots' content='index # allow indexing'/>
