CGITRC(5) ======== NAME ---- cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit SYNOPSIS -------- Cgitrc contains all runtime settings for cgit, including the list of git repositories, formatted as a line-separated list of NAME=VALUE pairs. Blank lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored. LOCATION -------- The default location of cgitrc, defined at compile time, is /etc/cgitrc. At runtime, cgit will consult the environment variable CGIT_CONFIG and, if defined, use its value instead. GLOBAL SETTINGS --------------- about-filter:: Specifies a command which will be invoked to format the content of about pages (both top-level and for each repository). The command will get the content of the about-file on its STDIN, and the STDOUT from the command will be included verbatim on the about page. Default value: none. agefile:: Specifies a path, relative to each repository path, which can be used to specify the date and time of the youngest commit in the repository. The first line in the file is used as input to the "parse_date" function in libgit. Recommended timestamp-format is "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss". Default value: "info/web/last-modified". cache-root:: Path used to store the cgit cache entries. Default value: "/var/cache/cgit". cache-dynamic-ttl:: Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached version of repository pages accessed without a fixed SHA1. Default value: "5". cache-repo-ttl:: Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached version of the repository summary page. Default value: "5". cache-root-ttl:: Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached version of the repository index page. Default value: "5". cache-scanrc-ttl:: Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the result of scanning a path for git repositories. Default value: "15". cache-size:: The maximum number of entries in the cgit cache.

Default value: "5". clone-prefix:: Space-separated list of common prefixes which, when combined with a repository url, generates valid clone urls for the repository. This setting is only used if `repo.clone-url` is unspecified. Default value: none. commit-filter:: Specifies a command which will be invoked to format commit messages. The command will get the message on its STDIN, and the STDOUT from the command will be included verbatim as the commit message, i.e. this can be used to implement bugtracker integration.

Default value: "0". enable-log-filecount:: Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit print the number of modified files for each commit on the repository log page. Default value: "0". enable-log-linecount:: Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit print the number of added and removed lines for each commit on the repository log page. Default value: "0". favicon:: Url used as link to a shortcut icon for cgit. If specified, it is suggested to use the value "/favicon.ico" since certain browsers will ignore other values.

Default value: none. header:: The content of the file specified with this option will be included verbatim at the top of all pages. Default value: none. include:: Name of a configfile to include before the rest of the current config- file is parsed. Default value: none. index-header:: The content of the file specified with this option will be included verbatim above the repository index. This setting is deprecated, and will not be supported by cgit-1.0 (use root-readme instead). Default value: none. index-info:: The content of the file specified with this option will be included verbatim below the heading on the repository index page. This setting is deprecated, and will not be supported by cgit-1.0 (use root-desc instead). Default value: none. local-time:: Flag which, if set to "1", makes cgit print commit and tag times in the servers timezone. Default value: "0". logo:: Url which specifies the source of an image which will be used as a logo on all cgit pages. Default value: "/cgit.png". logo-link:: Url loaded when clicking on the cgit logo image. If unspecified the calculated url of the repository index page will be used.

See also: "repo.max-stats". mimetype.:: Set the mimetype for the specified filename extension. This is used by the `plain` command when returning blob content. module-link:: Text which will be used as the formatstring for a hyperlink when a submodule is printed in a directory listing. The arguments for the formatstring are the path and SHA1 of the submodule commit. Default value: "./?repo=%s&page=commit&id=%s" nocache:: If set to the value "1" caching will be disabled. This settings is deprecated, and will not be honored starting with cgit-1.0. Default value: "0". noplainemail:: If set to "1" showing full author email adresses will be disabled. Default value: "0". noheader:: Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit omit the standard header on all pages. Default value: none. See also: "embedded". renamelimit:: Maximum number of files to consider when detecting renames. The value "-1" uses the compiletime value in git (for further info, look at `man git-diff`). Default value: "-1". repo.group:: Legacy alias for "section". This option is deprecated and will not be supported in cgit-1.0. robots:: Text used as content for the "robots" meta-tag.

Default value: none. source-filter:: Specifies a command which will be invoked to format plaintext blobs in the tree view. The command will get the blob content on its STDIN and the name of the blob as its only command line argument. The STDOUT from the command will be included verbatim as the blob contents, i.e. this can be used to implement e.g. syntax highlighting. Default value: none. summary-branches:: Specifies the number of branches to display in the repository "summary" view. Default value: "10". summary-log:: Specifies the number of log entries to display in the repository "summary" view. Default value: "10". summary-tags:: Specifies the number of tags to display in the repository "summary" view.

It will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default value: none. NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.

REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE ------------------------------- When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Also, in a repo-specific config file, the "repo." prefix is dropped from the config option names.
