| gitweb for Debian |
| ----------------- |
| |
| The gitweb CGI by default looks into the directory /var/lib/git/ for |
| browsable repositories (this is configured in /etc/gitweb.conf). It expects |
| the repositories' .git subdirectories in /var/lib/git/, symlinks pointing |
| to the corresponding subdirectories in the repositories are just fine, e.g.: |
| |
| ln -s ~pape/git/foo/.git /var/lib/git/foo.git |
| |
| On systems with an Apache webserver, gitweb is automatically made available at |
| http://localhost/gitweb. This requires CGI support, so you may need to run |
| "a2enmod cgi". You can deactivate the site by running "a2disconf gitweb" or |
| tweak it by modifying /etc/apache2/conf-available/gitweb.conf |
| |
| For more details about setting up gitweb for a git.example.org server, and |
| on how to make the git core tools such as 'git clone' work through http, see |
| /usr/share/doc/git/README.Debian. |
