  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".

  77         none.
  78
  79 commit-filter::

 274         the result will be cached as a cgitrc include-file in the cache
 275         directory. If project-list has been defined prior to scan-path,
 276         scan-path loads only the directories listed in the file pointed to by

 282         after this option will inherit the current section name. Default value:
 283         none.
 284
 285 section-from-path::

 289         above the repo directory. Default value: 0.
 290
 291 side-by-side-diffs::
 292         If set to "1" shows side-by-side diffs instead of unidiffs per

 298         values "tar", "tar.gz", "tar.bz2" and "zip". Default value: none.
 299
 300 source-filter::
 301         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format plaintext blobs
 302         in the tree view. The command will get the blob content on its STDIN
 303         and the name of the blob as its only command line argument. The STDOUT
 304         from the command will be included verbatim as the blob contents, i.e.
 305         this can be used to implement e.g. syntax highlighting. Default value:
 306         none.
 307
 308 summary-branches::
 309         Specifies the number of branches to display in the repository "summary"
 310         view. Default value: "10".
 311
 312 summary-log::
 313         Specifies the number of log entries to display in the repository
 314         "summary" view. Default value: "10".
 315
 316 summary-tags::
 317         Specifies the number of tags to display in the repository "summary"
 318         view. Default value: "10".
 319
 320 strict-export::
 321         Filename which, if specified, needs to be present within the repository
 322         for cgit to allow access to that repository. This can be used to emulate
 323         gitweb's EXPORT_OK and STRICT_EXPORT functionality and limit cgit's
 324         repositories to match those exported by git-daemon. This option MUST come
 325         before 'scan-path'.
 326
 327 virtual-root::
 328         Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It
 329         will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
 330         '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
 331         value: none.
 332         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
 333         same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.

 411
 412 REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
 413 -------------------------------
 414 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
 415 will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
 416 repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
 417 described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
 418 options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
 419 "enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
 420
 421 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
 422 config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
