  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".

  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".
  72
  73 clone-prefix::
  74         Space-separated list of common prefixes which, when combined with a

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

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

 282 -------------------
 283 repo.about-filter::

 345         setting specified for each repo. Default value: none.
 346
 347
 348 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
 349 -------------------------------
 350 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
 351 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
 352 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
 353 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
 354 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
 355 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
 356
 357 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
 358 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
