NAME
----
- cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
+cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
-DESCRIPTION
------------
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
Cgitrc contains all runtime settings for cgit, including the list of git
repositories, formatted as a line-separated list of NAME=VALUE pairs. Blank
lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored.
+LOCATION
+--------
+The default location of cgitrc, defined at compile time, is /etc/cgitrc. At
+runtime, cgit will consult the environment variable CGIT_CONFIG and, if
+defined, use its value instead.
+

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