   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

  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".

  74         none.
  75
  76 commit-filter::
  77         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format commit messages.

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