   7 cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
   8
   9
  10 SYNOPSIS
  11 --------
  12 Cgitrc contains all runtime settings for cgit, including the list of git
  13 repositories, formatted as a line-separated list of NAME=VALUE pairs. Blank
  14 lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored.
  15
  16
  17 LOCATION
  18 --------
  19 The default location of cgitrc, defined at compile time, is /etc/cgitrc. At
  20 runtime, cgit will consult the environment variable CGIT_CONFIG and, if
  21 defined, use its value instead.
  22
  23
  24 GLOBAL SETTINGS
  25 ---------------
  26 about-filter::
  27         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format the content of
  28         about pages (both top-level and for each repository). The command will
  29         get the content of the about-file on its STDIN, and the STDOUT from the
  30         command will be included verbatim on the about page. Default value:
  31         none.
  32
  33 agefile::
  34         Specifies a path, relative to each repository path, which can be used
  35         to specify the date and time of the youngest commit in the repository.
  36         The first line in the file is used as input to the "parse_date"
  37         function in libgit. Recommended timestamp-format is "yyyy-mm-dd
  38         hh:mm:ss". Default value: "info/web/last-modified".

  63         (i.e. caching is disabled).

  66         Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
  67         version of repository pages accessed with a fixed SHA1. Default value:
  68         "5".

  74         none.
  75
  76 commit-filter::
  77         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format commit messages.

 266 virtual-root::
 267         Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It

 269         '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
 270         value: none.
 271         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
 272         same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.

 275 -------------------
 276 repo.about-filter::

 339
 340
 341 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
 342 -------------------------------
 343 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
 344 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
 345 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
 346 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
 347 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
 348 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
 349
 350 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
 351 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
