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
+ Shown in the title of all generated pages, defaults to the servers name.
+ * GITWEB_PROJECTROOT
+ The root directory for all projects shown by gitweb.
+ * GITWEB_LIST
+ points to a directory to scan for projects (defaults to project root)
+ or to a file for explicit listing of projects.
+ * GITWEB_HOMETEXT
+ points to an .html file which is included on the gitweb project
+ overview page.
+ * GITWEB_CSS
+ Points to the location where you put gitweb.css on your web server.
+ * GITWEB_LOGO
+ Points to the location where you put git-logo.png on your web server.
+ * GITWEB_CONFIG
+ This file will be loaded using 'require' and can be used to override any
+ of the options above as well as some other options - see the top of
+ 'gitweb.cgi' for their full list and description. If the environment
+ $GITWEB_CONFIG is set when gitweb.cgi is executed the file in the
+ environment variable will be loaded instead of the file
+ specified when gitweb.cgi was created.
+
+
+Runtime gitweb configuration
+----------------------------
+
+You can adjust gitweb behaviour using the file specified in `GITWEB_CONFIG`
+(defaults to 'gitweb_config.perl' in the same directory as the CGI).
+See the top of 'gitweb.cgi' for the list of variables and some description.
+The most notable thing that is not configurable at compile time are the
+optional features, stored in the '%features' variable. You can find further
+description on how to reconfigure the default features setting in your
+`GITWEB_CONFIG` or per-project in `project.git/config` inside 'gitweb.cgi'.
+
+
+Webserver configuration
+-----------------------
+
+If you want to have one URL for both gitweb and your http://
+repositories, you can configure apache like this:
+
+<VirtualHost www:80>
+ ServerName git.domain.org
+ DocumentRoot /pub/git
+ RewriteEngine on
+ RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(info|objects|refs)).*)?$ /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.
