  10 cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
  11
  12
  13 SYNOPSIS
  14 --------
  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.
  18
  19
  20 LOCATION
  21 --------
  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.
  25
  26
  27 GLOBAL SETTINGS
  28 ---------------
  29 about-filter::
  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".
  35
  36 agefile::
  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".

  63
  64 cache-size::
  65         The maximum number of entries in the cgit cache. Default value: "0"
  66         (i.e. caching is disabled).
  67
  68 cache-static-ttl::
  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:
  71         "5".
  72
  73 clone-prefix::
  74         Space-separated list of common prefixes which, when combined with a
  75         repository url, generates valid clone urls for the repository. This

 251         scan-path. Default value: none. See also: scan-path, "MACRO
 252         EXPANSION".
 253
 254 readme::

 288
 289 scan-hidden-path::
 290         If set to "1" and scan-path is enabled, scan-path will recurse into
 291         directories whose name starts with a period ('.'). Otherwise,
 292         scan-path will stay away from such directories (considered as
 293         "hidden"). Note that this does not apply to the ".git" directory in
 294         non-bare repos. This must be defined prior to scan-path.
 295         Default value: 0. See also: scan-path.
 296
 297 scan-path::
 298         A path which will be scanned for repositories. If caching is enabled,
 299         the result will be cached as a cgitrc include-file in the cache
 300         directory. If project-list has been defined prior to scan-path,
 301         scan-path loads only the directories listed in the file pointed to by
 302         project-list. Be advised that only the global settings taken
 303         before the scan-path directive will be applied to each repository.
 304         Default value: none. See also: cache-scanrc-ttl, project-list,
 305         "MACRO EXPANSION".
 306
 307 section::
 308         The name of the current repository section - all repositories defined
 309         after this option will inherit the current section name. Default value:
 310         none.
 311
 312 section-from-path::
 313         A number which, if specified before scan-path, specifies how many
 314         path elements from each repo path to use as a default section name.
 315         If negative, cgit will discard the specified number of path elements
 316         above the repo directory. Default value: 0.
 317
 318 side-by-side-diffs::
 319         If set to "1" shows side-by-side diffs instead of unidiffs per
 320         default. Default value: "0".

 326         none.
 327
 328 source-filter::
 329         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format plaintext blobs
 330         in the tree view. The command will get the blob content on its STDIN
 331         and the name of the blob as its only command line argument. The STDOUT
 332         from the command will be included verbatim as the blob contents, i.e.
 333         this can be used to implement e.g. syntax highlighting. Default value:
 334         none. See also: "FILTER API".
 335
 336 summary-branches::
 337         Specifies the number of branches to display in the repository "summary"
 338         view. Default value: "10".
 339
 340 summary-log::
 341         Specifies the number of log entries to display in the repository
 342         "summary" view. Default value: "10".
 343
 344 summary-tags::
 345         Specifies the number of tags to display in the repository "summary"
 346         view. Default value: "10".
 347
 348 strict-export::
 349         Filename which, if specified, needs to be present within the repository
 350         for cgit to allow access to that repository. This can be used to emulate
 351         gitweb's EXPORT_OK and STRICT_EXPORT functionality and limit cgit's
 352         repositories to match those exported by git-daemon. This option MUST come
 353         before 'scan-path'.
 354
 355 virtual-root::
 356         Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It
 357         will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
 358         '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
 359         value: none.
 360         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
 361         same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.

 438         verbatim as the "About" page for this repo. You may also specify a
 439         git refspec by head or by hash by prepending the refspec followed by
 440         a colon. For example, "master:docs/readme.mkd" Default value: <readme>.
 441
 442 repo.snapshots::
 443         A mask of allowed snapshot-formats for this repo, restricted by the
 444         "snapshots" global setting. Default value: <snapshots>.
 445
 446 repo.section::
 447         Override the current section name for this repository. Default value:
 448         none.
 449
 450 repo.source-filter::
 451         Override the default source-filter. Default value: none. See also:
 452         "enable-filter-overrides". See also: "FILTER API".
 453
 454 repo.url::
 455         The relative url used to access the repository. This must be the first
 456         setting specified for each repo. Default value: none.
 457
 458
 459 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
 460 -------------------------------
 461 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
 462 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
 463 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
 464 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
 465 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
 466 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
 467
 468 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
 469 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
 470
 471
 472 FILTER API
 473 ----------
 474 about filter::
 475         This filter is given no arguments. The about text that is to be
 476         filtered is available on standard input and the filtered text is
 477         expected on standard output.
 478
 479 commit filter::
 480         This filter is given no arguments. The commit message text that is to
 481         be filtered is available on standard input and the filtered text is
 482         expected on standard output.
 483
 484 source filter::
 485         This filter is given a single parameter: the filename of the source
 486         file to filter. The filter can use the filename to determine (for
 487         example) the syntax highlighting mode. The contents of the source
 488         file that is to be filtered is available on standard input and the
 489         filtered contents is expected on standard output.
 490
 491 Also, all filters are handed the following environment variables:
 492
 493 - CGIT_REPO_URL (from repo.url)
 494 - CGIT_REPO_NAME (from repo.name)
 495 - CGIT_REPO_PATH (from repo.path)
 496 - CGIT_REPO_OWNER (from repo.owner)
 497 - CGIT_REPO_DEFBRANCH (from repo.defbranch)
 498 - CGIT_REPO_SECTION (from repo.section)
 499 - CGIT_REPO_CLONE_URL (from repo.clone-url)
 500
 501 If a setting is not defined for a repository and the corresponding global
 502 setting is also not defined (if applicable), then the corresponding
 503 environment variable will be unset.
 504
 505
 506 MACRO EXPANSION
 507 ---------------
 508 The following cgitrc options supports a simple macro expansion feature,
 509 where tokens prefixed with "$" are replaced with the value of a similary
 510 named environment variable:
 511
 512 - cache-root
 513 - include
 514 - project-list
 515 - scan-path
 516
 517 Macro expansion will also happen on the content of $CGIT_CONFIG, if
 518 defined.
 519
 520 One usage of this feature is virtual hosting, which in its simplest form
 521 can be accomplished by adding the following line to /etc/cgitrc:
 522
 523         include=/etc/cgitrc.d/$HTTP_HOST
 524
 525 The following options are expanded during request processing, and support
 526 the environment variables defined in "FILTER API":
 527
 528 - clone-url
 529 - repo.clone-url
 530
