GIT web Interface
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
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.
