  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).

  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".

  77         none.
  78
  79 commit-filter::

 279         the result will be cached as a cgitrc include-file in the cache
 280         directory. If project-list has been defined prior to scan-path,
 281         scan-path loads only the directories listed in the file pointed to by

 283         project-list.

 287         after this option will inherit the current section name. Default value:
 288         none.
 289
 290 section-from-path::
 291         A number which, if specified before scan-path, specifies how many
 292         path elements from each repo path to use as a default section name.
 293         If negative, cgit will discard the specified number of path elements
 294         above the repo directory. Default value: 0.
 295
 296 side-by-side-diffs::
 297         If set to "1" shows side-by-side diffs instead of unidiffs per

 303         values "tar", "tar.gz", "tar.bz2" and "zip". Default value: none.
 304
 305 source-filter::
 306         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format plaintext blobs
 307         in the tree view. The command will get the blob content on its STDIN
 308         and the name of the blob as its only command line argument. The STDOUT
 309         from the command will be included verbatim as the blob contents, i.e.
 310         this can be used to implement e.g. syntax highlighting. Default value:
 311         none.
 312
 313 summary-branches::
 314         Specifies the number of branches to display in the repository "summary"
 315         view. Default value: "10".
 316
 317 summary-log::
 318         Specifies the number of log entries to display in the repository
 319         "summary" view. Default value: "10".
 320
 321 summary-tags::
 322         Specifies the number of tags to display in the repository "summary"
 323         view. Default value: "10".
 324
 325 strict-export::
 326         Filename which, if specified, needs to be present within the repository
 327         for cgit to allow access to that repository. This can be used to emulate
 328         gitweb's EXPORT_OK and STRICT_EXPORT functionality and limit cgit's
 329         repositories to match those exported by git-daemon. This option MUST come
 330         before 'scan-path'.
 331
 332 virtual-root::
 333         Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It
 334         will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
 335         '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
 336         value: none.
 337         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
 338         same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.

 416
 417 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
 418 -------------------------------
 419 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
 420 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
 421 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
 422 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
 423 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
 424 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
 425
 426 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
 427 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
