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.

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

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

475 ## List of repositories.
476 ## PS: Any repositories listed when section is unset will not be
477 ## displayed under a section heading
478 ## PPS: This list could be kept in a different file (e.g. '/etc/cgitrepos')
479 ## and included like this:
480 ## include=/etc/cgitrepos
485 repo.path=/pub/git/foo.git
486 repo.desc=the master foo repository
487 repo.owner=fooman@foobar.com
488 repo.readme=info/web/about.html
492 repo.path=/pub/git/bar.git
493 repo.desc=the bars for your foo
494 repo.owner=barman@foobar.com
495 repo.readme=info/web/about.html
498 # The next repositories will be displayed under the 'extras' heading
503 repo.path=/pub/git/baz.git
504 repo.desc=a set of extensions for bar users
507 repo.path=/pub/git/wiz.git
508 repo.desc=the wizard of foo
511 # Add some mirrored repositories
516 repo.path=/pub/git/git.git
521 repo.path=/pub/git/linux.git
524 # Disable adhoc downloads of this repo
527 # Disable line-counts for this repo
528 repo.enable-log-linecount=0
530 # Restrict the max statistics period for this repo
537 Comments currently cannot appear on the same line as a setting; the comment
538 will be included as part of the value. E.g. this line:
540 robots=index # allow indexing
542 will generate the following html element:
544 <meta name='robots' content='index # allow indexing'/>
