- The maximum number of entries in the cgit cache. Default value: "0"

+ caching is disabled. See also: "CACHE". Default value: "0"
case-sensitive-sort::
Sort items in the repo list case sensitively. Default value: "1".
This is called whenever cgit writes data to the webpage.
'filter_close()'::
This is called when the current filtering operation is
- completed.
-
+ completed. It must return an integer value. Usually 0
+ indicates success.
+
Additionally, cgit exposes to the Lua the following built-in functions:
'html(str)'::
URL escapes for a path and writes 'str' to the webpage.
'html_url_arg(str)'::
URL escapes for an argument and writes 'str' to the webpage.
+ 'html_include(file)'::
+ Includes 'file' in webpage.
Parameters are provided to filters as follows.
file that is to be filtered is available on standard input and the
filtered contents is expected on standard output.
-Also, all filters are handed the following environment variables:
+auth filter::
+ The authentication filter receives 12 parameters:
+ - filter action, explained below, which specifies which action the
+ filter is called for
+ - http cookie
+ - http method
+ - http referer
+ - http path
+ - http https flag
+ - cgit repo
+ - cgit page
+ - cgit url
+ - cgit login url
+ When the filter action is "body", this filter must write to output the
+ HTML for displaying the login form, which POSTs to the login url. When
+ the filter action is "authenticate-cookie", this filter must validate
+ the http cookie and return a 0 if it is invalid or 1 if it is invalid,
+ in the exit code / close function. If the filter action is
+ "authenticate-post", this filter receives POST'd parameters on
+ standard input, and should write a complete CGI request, preferably
+ with a 302 redirect, and write to output one or more "Set-Cookie"
+ HTTP headers, each followed by a newline.
+
+ Please see `filters/simple-authentication.lua` for a clear example
+ script that may be modified.
+
+
+All filters are handed the following environment variables:
- CGIT_REPO_URL (from repo.url)
- CGIT_REPO_NAME (from repo.name)
- repo.clone-url
+CACHE
+------
+
+All cache ttl values are in minutes. Negative ttl values indicate that a page
+type will never expire, and thus the first time a URL is accessed, the result
+will be cached indefinitely, even if the underlying git repository changes.
+Conversely, when a ttl value is zero, the cache is disabled for that
+particular page type, and the page type is never cached.
