  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

  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".

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

 374
 375 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
 376 -------------------------------
 377 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
 378 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
 379 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
 380 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
 381 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
 382 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
 383
 384 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
 385 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
