   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".

  62         Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
  63         version of repository pages accessed with a fixed SHA1. Default value:
  64         "5".
  65
  66 clone-prefix::
  67         Space-separated list of common prefixes which, when combined with a
  68         repository url, generates valid clone urls for the repository. This

  70         none.
  71
  72 commit-filter::
  73         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format commit messages.
  74         The command will get the message on its STDIN, and the STDOUT from the
  75         command will be included verbatim as the commit message, i.e. this can
  76         be used to implement bugtracker integration. Default value: none.

 248         value: none.
 249         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
 250         same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.
