From the git version 1.4.0 gitweb is bundled with git.

+How to configure gitweb for your local system
+---------------------------------------------
You can specify the following configuration variables when building GIT:
* GITWEB_SITENAME
environment variable will be loaded instead of the file
specified when gitweb.cgi was created.
+
Runtime gitweb configuration
----------------------------
`GITWEB_CONFIG` or per-project in `project.git/config` inside 'gitweb.cgi'.
+Webserver configuration
+-----------------------
+
+If you want to have one URL for both gitweb and your http://
+repositories, you can configure apache like this:
+
+<VirtualHost www:80>
+ ServerName git.domain.org
+ DocumentRoot /pub/git
+ RewriteEngine on
+ RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(info|objects|refs)).*)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi%{REQUEST_URI} [L,PT]
+ SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf
+</VirtualHost>
+
+The above configuration expects your public repositories to live under
+/pub/git and will serve them as http://git.domain.org/dir-under-pub-git,
+both as cloneable GIT URL and as browseable gitweb interface.
+If you then start your git-daemon with --base-path=/pub/git --export-all
+then you can even use the git:// URL with exactly the same path.
+
+Setting the environment variable GITWEB_CONFIG will tell gitweb to use
+the named file (i.e. in this example /etc/gitweb.conf) as a
+configuration for gitweb. Perl variables defined in here will
+override the defaults given at the head of the gitweb.perl (or
+gitweb.cgi). Look at the comments in that file for information on
+which variables and what they mean.
