| GIT web Interface |
| ================= |
| |
| The one working on: |
| http://git.kernel.org/ |
| |
| From the git version 1.4.0 gitweb is bundled with git. |
| |
| |
| Build time gitweb configuration |
| ------------------------------- |
| There are many configuration variables which affect building gitweb (among |
| others creating gitweb.cgi out of gitweb.perl by replacing placeholders such |
| as `++GIT_BINDIR++` by their build-time values). |
| |
| Building and installing gitweb is described in gitweb's INSTALL file |
| (in 'gitweb/INSTALL'). |
| |
| |
| Runtime gitweb configuration |
| ---------------------------- |
| Gitweb obtains configuration data from the following sources in the |
| following order: |
| |
| 1. built-in values (some set during build stage), |
| 2. common system-wide configuration file (`GITWEB_CONFIG_COMMON`, |
| defaults to '/etc/gitweb-common.conf'), |
| 3. either per-instance configuration file (`GITWEB_CONFIG`, defaults to |
| 'gitweb_config.perl' in the same directory as the installed gitweb), |
| or if it does not exists then system-wide configuration file |
| (`GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM`, defaults to '/etc/gitweb.conf'). |
| |
| Values obtained in later configuration files override values obtained earlier |
| in above sequence. |
| |
| You can read defaults in system-wide GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM from GITWEB_CONFIG |
| by adding |
| |
| read_config_file($GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM); |
| |
| at very beginning of per-instance GITWEB_CONFIG file. In this case |
| settings in said per-instance file will override settings from |
| system-wide configuration file. Note that read_config_file checks |
| itself that the $GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM file exists. |
| |
| The most notable thing that is not configurable at compile time are the |
| optional features, stored in the '%features' variable. |
| |
| Ultimate description on how to reconfigure the default features setting |
| in your `GITWEB_CONFIG` or per-project in `project.git/config` can be found |
| as comments inside 'gitweb.cgi'. |
| |
| See also gitweb.conf(5) manpage. |
| |
| |
| Web server configuration |
| ------------------------ |
| Gitweb can be run as CGI script, as legacy mod_perl application (using |
| ModPerl::Registry), and as FastCGI script. You can find some simple examples |
| in "Example web server configuration" section in INSTALL file for gitweb (in |
| gitweb/INSTALL). |
| |
| See "Webserver configuration" and "Advanced web server setup" sections in |
| gitweb(1) manpage. |
