  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".

  63
  64 cache-size::
  65         The maximum number of entries in the cgit cache. Default value: "0"
  66         (i.e. caching is disabled).
  67
  68 cache-static-ttl::
  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::

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

 112
 113 enable-log-filecount::
 114         Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit print the number of

 240         scan-path. Default value: none. See also: scan-path.
 241
 242 readme::
 243         Text which will be used as default value for "repo.readme". Default
 244         value: none.
 245
 246 remove-suffix::

 275         "Git Repository Browser".
 276
 277 scan-hidden-path::
 278         If set to "1" and scan-path is enabled, scan-path will recurse into
 279         directories whose name starts with a period ('.'). Otherwise,
 280         scan-path will stay away from such directories (considered as
 281         "hidden"). Note that this does not apply to the ".git" directory in
 282         non-bare repos. This must be defined prior to scan-path.
 283         Default value: 0. See also: scan-path.
 284
 285 scan-path::
 286         A path which will be scanned for repositories. If caching is enabled,
 287         the result will be cached as a cgitrc include-file in the cache
 288         directory. If project-list has been defined prior to scan-path,
 289         scan-path loads only the directories listed in the file pointed to by
 290         project-list. Be advised that only the global settings taken
 291         before the scan-path directive will be applied to each repository.
 292         Default value: none. See also: cache-scanrc-ttl, project-list.
 293
 294 section::
 295         The name of the current repository section - all repositories defined
 296         after this option will inherit the current section name. Default value:
 297         none.
 298
 299 section-from-path::
 300         A number which, if specified before scan-path, specifies how many
 301         path elements from each repo path to use as a default section name.
 302         If negative, cgit will discard the specified number of path elements
 303         above the repo directory. Default value: 0.
 304
 305 side-by-side-diffs::
 306         If set to "1" shows side-by-side diffs instead of unidiffs per
 307         default. Default value: "0".
 308
 309 snapshots::
 310         Text which specifies the default set of snapshot formats generated by
 311         cgit. The value is a space-separated list of zero or more of the
 312         values "tar", "tar.gz", "tar.bz2", "tar.xz" and "zip". Default value:
 313         none.
 314
 315 source-filter::
 316         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format plaintext blobs
 317         in the tree view. The command will get the blob content on its STDIN
 318         and the name of the blob as its only command line argument. The STDOUT
 319         from the command will be included verbatim as the blob contents, i.e.
 320         this can be used to implement e.g. syntax highlighting. Default value:
 321         none.
 322
 323 summary-branches::
 324         Specifies the number of branches to display in the repository "summary"
 325         view. Default value: "10".
 326
 327 summary-log::
 328         Specifies the number of log entries to display in the repository
 329         "summary" view. Default value: "10".
 330
 331 summary-tags::
 332         Specifies the number of tags to display in the repository "summary"
 333         view. Default value: "10".
 334
 335 strict-export::
 336         Filename which, if specified, needs to be present within the repository
 337         for cgit to allow access to that repository. This can be used to emulate
 338         gitweb's EXPORT_OK and STRICT_EXPORT functionality and limit cgit's
 339         repositories to match those exported by git-daemon. This option MUST come
 340         before 'scan-path'.
 341
 342 virtual-root::
 343         Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It
 344         will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
 345         '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
 346         value: none.
 347         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
 348         same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.

 440 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
 441 -------------------------------
 442 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
 443 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
 444 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
 445 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
 446 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
 447 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
 448
 449 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
 450 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
