  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".

  62         of scanning a path for git repositories. Default value: "15".
  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::
  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.

 240         scan-path. Default value: none. See also: scan-path, "MACRO
 241         EXPANSION".
 242
 243 readme::
 244         Text which will be used as default value for "repo.readme". Default
 245         value: none.
 246
 247 remove-suffix::
 248         If set to "1" and scan-path is enabled, if any repositories are found
 249         with a suffix of ".git", this suffix will be removed for the url and
 250         name. Default value: "0". See also: scan-path.
 251

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

 439 repo.source-filter::
 440         Override the default source-filter. Default value: none. See also:
 441         "enable-filter-overrides".
 442
 443 repo.url::
 444         The relative url used to access the repository. This must be the first
 445         setting specified for each repo. Default value: none.

 448 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
 449 -------------------------------
 450 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
 451 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
 452 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
 453 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
 454 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
 455 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
 456
 457 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
 458 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
 459
 460
 461 MACRO EXPANSION
 462 ---------------
 463 The following cgitrc options supports a simple macro expansion feature,
 464 where tokens prefixed with "$" are replaced with the value of a similary
 465 named environment variable:
 466
 467 - cache-root
 468 - include
 469 - project-list
 470 - scan-path
 471
 472 Macro expansion will also happen on the content of $CGIT_CONFIG, if
 473 defined.
 474
 475 One usage of this feature is virtual hosting, which in its simplest form
 476 can be accomplished by adding the following line to /etc/cgitrc:
 477
 478         include=/etc/cgitrc.d/$HTTP_HOST
 479
