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"

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

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

318 from the command will be included verbatim as the blob contents, i.e.
319 this can be used to implement e.g. syntax highlighting. Default value:
320 none. See also: "FILTER API".
323 Specifies the number of branches to display in the repository "summary"
324 view. Default value: "10".

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

365 exists in the repository, the first branch name (when sorted) is used
366 as default instead. Default value: "master".
369 The value to show as repository description. Default value: none.
371 repo.enable-commit-graph::
372 A flag which can be used to disable the global setting

385 in the summary and refs views. Default value: <enable-remote-branches>.
387 repo.enable-subject-links::
388 A flag which can be used to override the global setting
389 `enable-subject-links'. Default value: none.
392 Url which specifies the source of an image which will be used as a logo
393 on this repo's pages. Default value: global logo.
396 Url loaded when clicking on the cgit logo image. If unspecified the
397 calculated url of the repository index page will be used. Default
398 value: global logo-link.
401 Override the default maximum statistics period. Valid values are equal
402 to the values specified for the global "max-stats" setting. Default
406 The value to show as repository name. Default value: <repo.url>.

414 this is the .git-directory. Default value: none.
417 A path (relative to <repo.path>) which specifies a file to include
418 verbatim as the "About" page for this repo. You may also specify a
419 git refspec by head or by hash by prepending the refspec followed by
420 a colon. For example, "master:docs/readme.mkd" Default value: <readme>.
423 A mask of allowed snapshot-formats for this repo, restricted by the
424 "snapshots" global setting. Default value: <snapshots>.

435 The relative url used to access the repository. This must be the first
436 setting specified for each repo. Default value: none.
439 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
440 -------------------------------
441 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
442 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
443 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
444 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
445 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
446 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
448 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
449 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
455 This filter is given no arguments.
456 The about text that is to be filtered is available on standard input and the
457 filtered text is expected on standard output.
459 This filter is given no arguments.
460 The commit message text that is to be filtered is available on standard input
461 and the filtered text is expected on standard output.
463 This filter is given a single parameter: the filename of the source file to
464 filter. The filter can use the filename to determine (for example) the syntax
466 The contents of the source file that is to be filtered is available on
467 standard input and the filtered contents is expected on standard output.
469 Also, all filters are handed the following environment variables:
470 - CGIT_REPO_URL ( = repo.url setting )
471 - CGIT_REPO_NAME ( = repo.name setting )
472 - CGIT_REPO_PATH ( = repo.path setting )
473 - CGIT_REPO_OWNER ( = repo.owner setting )
474 - CGIT_REPO_DEFBRANCH ( = repo.defbranch setting )
475 - CGIT_REPO_SECTION ( = section setting )
476 - CGIT_REPO_CLONE_URL ( = repo.clone-url setting )
478 If a setting is not defined for a repository and the corresponding global
479 setting is also not defined (if applicable), then the corresponding
480 environment variable will be an empty string.
482 Note that under normal circumstance all these environment variables are
483 defined. If however the total size of the defined settings exceed the
484 allocated buffer within cgit then only the environment variables that fit
485 in the allocated buffer are handed to the filter.

623 Comments currently cannot appear on the same line as a setting; the comment
624 will be included as part of the value. E.g. this line:
