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".

62 of scanning a path for git repositories. Default value: "15".
65 The maximum number of entries in the cgit cache. Default value: "0"

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

210 on all pages. Default value: none. See also: "embedded".
213 Maximum number of files to consider when detecting renames. The value

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

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