How to configure gitweb for your local system
---------------------------------------------
You can specify the following configuration variables when building GIT:
* GIT_BINDIR
Points where to find the git executable. You should set it up to
the place where the git binary was installed (usually /usr/bin) if you
don't install git from sources together with gitweb. [Default: $(bindir)]
* GITWEB_SITENAME
Shown in the title of all generated pages, defaults to the server name
(SERVER_NAME CGI environment variable) if not set. [No default]
* GITWEB_PROJECTROOT
The root directory for all projects shown by gitweb. Must be set
correctly for gitweb to find repositories to display. See also
"Gitweb repositories" in the INSTALL file for gitweb. [Default: /pub/git]
* GITWEB_PROJECT_MAXDEPTH
The filesystem traversing limit for getting the project list; the number
is taken as depth relative to the projectroot. It is used when
GITWEB_LIST is a directory (or is not set; then project root is used).
This is meant to speed up project listing on large work trees by limiting
search depth. [Default: 2007]
* GITWEB_LIST
Points to a directory to scan for projects (defaults to project root
if not set / if empty) or to a file with explicit listing of projects
(together with projects' ownership). See "Generating projects list
using gitweb" in INSTALL file for gitweb to find out how to generate
such file from scan of a directory. [No default, which means use root
directory for projects]
* GITWEB_EXPORT_OK
Show repository only if this file exists (in repository). Only
effective if this variable evaluates to true. [No default / Not set]
* GITWEB_STRICT_EXPORT
Only allow viewing of repositories also shown on the overview page.
This for example makes GITWEB_EXPORT_OK to decide if repository is
available and not only if it is shown. If GITWEB_LIST points to
file with list of project, only those repositories listed would be
available for gitweb. [No default]
* GITWEB_HOMETEXT
Points to an .html file which is included on the gitweb project
overview page ('projects_list' view), if it exists. Relative to
gitweb.cgi script. [Default: indextext.html]
* GITWEB_SITE_HEADER
Filename of html text to include at top of each page. Relative to
gitweb.cgi script. [No default]
* GITWEB_SITE_FOOTER
Filename of html text to include at bottom of each page. Relative to
gitweb.cgi script. [No default]
* GITWEB_HOME_LINK_STR
String of the home link on top of all pages, leading to $home_link
(usually main gitweb page, which means projects list). Used as first
part of gitweb view "breadcrumb trail": <home> / <project> / <view>.
[Default: projects]
* GITWEB_SITENAME
Name of your site or organization to appear in page titles. Set it
to something descriptive for clearer bookmarks etc. If not set
(if empty) gitweb uses "$SERVER_NAME Git", or "Untitled Git" if
SERVER_NAME CGI environment variable is not set (e.g. if running
gitweb as standalone script). [No default]
* GITWEB_BASE_URL
Git base URLs used for URL to where fetch project from, i.e. full
URL is "$git_base_url/$project". Shown on projects summary page.
Repository URL for project can be also configured per repository; this
takes precedence over URLs composed from base URL and a project name.
Note that you can setup multiple base URLs (for example one for
git:// protocol access, another for http:// access) from the gitweb
config file. [No default]
* GITWEB_CSS
Points to the location where you put gitweb.css on your web server
(or to be more generic, the URI of gitweb stylesheet). Relative to the
base URI of gitweb. Note that you can setup multiple stylesheets from
the gitweb config file. [Default: static/gitweb.css (or
static/gitweb.min.css if the CSSMIN variable is defined / CSS minifier
is used)]
* GITWEB_JS
Points to the location where you put gitweb.js on your web server
(or to be more generic URI of JavaScript code used by gitweb).
Relative to base URI of gitweb. [Default: static/gitweb.js (or
static/gitweb.min.js if JSMIN build variable is defined / JavaScript
minifier is used)]
* CSSMIN, JSMIN
Invocation of a CSS minifier or a JavaScript minifier, respectively,
working as a filter (source on standard input, minified result on
standard output). If set, it is used to generate a minified version of
'static/gitweb.css' or 'static/gitweb.js', respectively. *Note* that
minified files would have *.min.css and *.min.js extension, which is
important if you also set GITWEB_CSS and/or GITWEB_JS. [No default]
* GITWEB_LOGO
Points to the location where you put git-logo.png on your web server
(or to be more generic URI of logo, 72x27 size, displayed in top right
corner of each gitweb page, and used as logo for Atom feed). Relative
to base URI of gitweb. [Default: static/git-logo.png]
* GITWEB_FAVICON
Points to the location where you put git-favicon.png on your web server
(or to be more generic URI of favicon, assumed to be image/png type;
web browsers that support favicons (website icons) may display them
in the browser's URL bar and next to site name in bookmarks). Relative
to base URI of gitweb. [Default: static/git-favicon.png]
* GITWEB_CONFIG
This Perl file will be loaded using 'do' and can be used to override any
of the options above as well as some other options -- see the "Runtime
gitweb configuration" section below, and top of 'gitweb.cgi' for their
full list and description. If the environment variable GITWEB_CONFIG
is set when gitweb.cgi is executed, then the file specified in the
environment variable will be loaded instead of the file specified
when gitweb.cgi was created. [Default: gitweb_config.perl]
* GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM
This Perl file will be loaded using 'do' as a fallback if GITWEB_CONFIG
does not exist. If the environment variable GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM is set
when gitweb.cgi is executed, then the file specified in the environment
variable will be loaded instead of the file specified when gitweb.cgi was
created. [Default: /etc/gitweb.conf]
* HIGHLIGHT_BIN
Path to the highlight executable to use (must be the one from
http://www.andre-simon.de due to assumptions about parameters and output).
Useful if highlight is not installed on your webserver's PATH.
[Default: highlight]
