- our $projectroot = "/srv/git"; # FHS recommendation
- our $site_name = 'Example.org >> Repos';

The configuration file is used to override the default settings that
Note that 'highlight' feature must be set for gitweb to actually
use syntax highlighting.

-*NOTE*: if you want to add support for new file type (supported by
-"highlight" but not used by gitweb), you need to modify `%highlight_ext`
-or `%highlight_basename`, depending on whether you detect type of file
-based on extension (for example "sh") or on its basename (for example
-"Makefile"). The keys of these hashes are extension and basename,
-respectively, and value for given key is name of syntax to be passed via
-`--syntax <syntax>` to highlighter.
+*NOTE*: for a file to be highlighted, its syntax type must be detected
+and that syntax must be supported by "highlight". The default syntax
+detection is minimal, and there are many supported syntax types with no
+detection by default. There are three options for adding syntax
+detection. The first and second priority are `%highlight_basename` and
+`%highlight_ext`, which detect based on basename (the full filename, for
+example "Makefile") and extension (for example "sh"). The keys of these
+hashes are the basename and extension, respectively, and the value for a
+given key is the name of the syntax to be passed via `--syntax <syntax>`
+to "highlight". The last priority is the "highlight" configuration of
+`Shebang` regular expressions to detect the language based on the first
+line in the file, (for example, matching the line "#!/bin/bash"). See
+the highlight documentation and the default config at
+/etc/highlight/filetypes.conf for more details.
+
For example if repositories you are hosting use "phtml" extension for
PHP files, and you want to have correct syntax-highlighting for those

For example, the following setting produces a breadcrumb trail like
"home / dev / projects / ..." where "projects" is the home link.

If you allow overriding for the snapshot feature, you can specify which
snapshot formats are globally disabled. You can also add any command-line
