  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.
  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".

  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:

  77         none.
  78
  79 commit-filter::
  80         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format commit messages.

 275         "Git Repository Browser".
 276
 277 scan-hidden-path::
 278         If set to "1" and scan-path is enabled, scan-path will recurse into
 279         directories whose name starts with a period ('.'). Otherwise,
 280         scan-path will stay away from such directories (considered as
 281         "hidden"). Note that this does not apply to the ".git" directory in
 282         non-bare repos. This must be defined prior to scan-path.
 283         Default value: 0. See also: scan-path.
 284
 285 scan-path::
 286         A path which will be scanned for repositories. If caching is enabled,
 287         the result will be cached as a cgitrc include-file in the cache
 288         directory. If project-list has been defined prior to scan-path,
 289         scan-path loads only the directories listed in the file pointed to by
 290         project-list. Default value: none. See also: cache-scanrc-ttl,
 291         project-list.
 292
 293 section::
 294         The name of the current repository section - all repositories defined
 295         after this option will inherit the current section name. Default value:
 296         none.
 297
 298 section-from-path::
 299         A number which, if specified before scan-path, specifies how many
 300         path elements from each repo path to use as a default section name.
 301         If negative, cgit will discard the specified number of path elements
 302         above the repo directory. Default value: 0.
 303
 304 side-by-side-diffs::
 305         If set to "1" shows side-by-side diffs instead of unidiffs per
 306         default. Default value: "0".
 307
 308 snapshots::
 309         Text which specifies the default set of snapshot formats generated by
 310         cgit. The value is a space-separated list of zero or more of the
 311         values "tar", "tar.gz", "tar.bz2" and "zip". Default value: none.
 312
 313 source-filter::
 314         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format plaintext blobs
 315         in the tree view. The command will get the blob content on its STDIN
 316         and the name of the blob as its only command line argument. The STDOUT
 317         from the command will be included verbatim as the blob contents, i.e.
 318         this can be used to implement e.g. syntax highlighting. Default value:
 319         none.
 320
 321 summary-branches::
 322         Specifies the number of branches to display in the repository "summary"
 323         view. Default value: "10".
 324
 325 summary-log::
 326         Specifies the number of log entries to display in the repository
 327         "summary" view. Default value: "10".
 328
 329 summary-tags::
 330         Specifies the number of tags to display in the repository "summary"
 331         view. Default value: "10".
 332
 333 strict-export::
 334         Filename which, if specified, needs to be present within the repository
 335         for cgit to allow access to that repository. This can be used to emulate
 336         gitweb's EXPORT_OK and STRICT_EXPORT functionality and limit cgit's
 337         repositories to match those exported by git-daemon. This option MUST come
 338         before 'scan-path'.
 339
 340 virtual-root::
 341         Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It
 342         will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
 343         '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
 344         value: none.
 345         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
 346         same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.

 438 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
 439 -------------------------------
 440 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
 441 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
 442 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
 443 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
 444 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
 445 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
 446
 447 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
 448 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
