1GIT web Interface 2================= 3 4The one working on: 5 http://www.kernel.org/git/ 6 7From the git version 1.4.0 gitweb is bundled with git. 8 9 10How to configure gitweb for your local system 11--------------------------------------------- 12 13You can specify the following configuration variables when building GIT: 14 * GITWEB_SITENAME 15 Shown in the title of all generated pages, defaults to the servers name. 16 * GITWEB_PROJECTROOT 17 The root directory for all projects shown by gitweb. 18 * GITWEB_LIST 19 points to a directory to scan for projects (defaults to project root) 20 or to a file for explicit listing of projects. 21 * GITWEB_HOMETEXT 22 points to an .html file which is included on the gitweb project 23 overview page. 24 * GITWEB_CSS 25 Points to the location where you put gitweb.css on your web server. 26 * GITWEB_LOGO 27 Points to the location where you put git-logo.png on your web server. 28 * GITWEB_CONFIG 29 This file will be loaded using 'require'. If the environment 30 $GITWEB_CONFIG is set when gitweb.cgi is executed the file in the 31 environment variable will be loaded instead of the file 32 specified when gitweb.cgi was created. 33 34 35Webserver configuration 36----------------------- 37 38If you want to have one URL for both gitweb and your http:// 39repositories, you can configure apache like this: 40 41<VirtualHost www:80> 42 ServerName git.domain.org 43 DocumentRoot /pub/git 44 RewriteEngine on 45 RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(info|objects|refs)).*)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi%{REQUEST_URI} [L,PT] 46 SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf 47</VirtualHost> 48 49The above configuration expects your public repositories to live under 50/pub/git and will serve them as http://git.domain.org/dir-under-pub-git, 51both as cloneable GIT URL and as browseable gitweb interface. 52If you then start your git-daemon with --base-path=/pub/git --export-all 53then you can even use the git:// URL with exactly the same path. 54 55Setting the environment variable GITWEB_CONFIG will tell gitweb to use 56the named file (i.e. in this example /etc/gitweb.conf) as a 57configuration for gitweb. Perl variables defined in here will 58override the defaults given at the head of the gitweb.perl (or 59gitweb.cgi). Look at the comments in that file for information on 60which variables and what they mean. 61 62 63Originally written by: 64 Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> 65 66Any comment/question/concern to: 67 Git mailing list <git@vger.kernel.org> 68
