in your `GITWEB_CONFIG` or per-project in `project.git/config` can be found
as comments inside 'gitweb.cgi'.
-See also the "Gitweb config file" (with an example of config file), and
-the "Gitweb repositories" sections in INSTALL file for gitweb.
-
-
-The gitweb config file is a fragment of perl code. You can set variables
-using "our $variable = value"; text from "#" character until the end
-of a line is ignored. See perlsyn(1) man page for details.
-
-Below is the list of variables which you might want to set in gitweb config.
-See the top of 'gitweb.cgi' for the full list of variables and their
-descriptions.
-
-Gitweb config file variables
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-You can set, among others, the following variables in gitweb config files
-(with the exception of $projectroot and $projects_list this list does
-not include variables usually directly set during build):
- * $GIT
- Core git executable to use. By default set to "$GIT_BINDIR/git", which
- in turn is by default set to "$(bindir)/git". If you use git from binary
- package, set this to "/usr/bin/git". This can just be "git" if your
- webserver has a sensible PATH. If you have multiple git versions
- installed it can be used to choose which one to use.
- * $version
- Gitweb version, set automatically when creating gitweb.cgi from
- gitweb.perl. You might want to modify it if you are running modified
- gitweb.
- * $projectroot
- Absolute filesystem path which will be prepended to project path;
- the path to repository is $projectroot/$project. Set to
- $GITWEB_PROJECTROOT during installation. This variable have to be
- set correctly for gitweb to find repositories.
- * $projects_list
- Source of projects list, either directory to scan, or text file
- with list of repositories (in the "<URI-encoded repository path> SP
- <URI-encoded repository owner>" line format; actually there can be
- any sequence of whitespace in place of space (SP)). Set to
- $GITWEB_LIST during installation. If empty, $projectroot is used
- to scan for repositories.
- * $my_url, $my_uri
- Full URL and absolute URL of gitweb script;
- in earlier versions of gitweb you might have need to set those
- variables, now there should be no need to do it. See
- $per_request_config if you need to set them still.
- * $base_url
- Base URL for relative URLs in pages generated by gitweb,
- (e.g. $logo, $favicon, @stylesheets if they are relative URLs),
- needed and used only for URLs with nonempty PATH_INFO via
- <base href="$base_url">. Usually gitweb sets its value correctly,
- and there is no need to set this variable, e.g. to $my_uri or "/".
- See $per_request_config if you need to set it anyway.
- * $home_link
- Target of the home link on top of all pages (the first part of view
- "breadcrumbs"). By default set to absolute URI of a page ($my_uri).
- * @stylesheets
- List of URIs of stylesheets (relative to base URI of a page). You
- might specify more than one stylesheet, for example use gitweb.css
- as base, with site specific modifications in separate stylesheet
- to make it easier to upgrade gitweb. You can add 'site' stylesheet
- for example by using
- push @stylesheets, "gitweb-site.css";
- in the gitweb config file.
- * $logo_url, $logo_label
- URI and label (title) of GIT logo link (or your site logo, if you choose
- to use different logo image). By default they point to git homepage;
- in the past they pointed to git documentation at www.kernel.org.
- * $projects_list_description_width
- The width (in characters) of the projects list "Description" column.
- Longer descriptions will be cut (trying to cut at word boundary);
- full description is available as 'title' attribute (usually shown on
- mouseover). By default set to 25, which might be too small if you
- use long project descriptions.
- * $projects_list_group_categories
- Enables the grouping of projects by category on the project list page.
- The category of a project is determined by the $GIT_DIR/category
- file or the 'gitweb.category' variable in its repository configuration.
- Disabled by default.
- * $project_list_default_category
- Default category for projects for which none is specified. If set
- to the empty string, such projects will remain uncategorized and
- listed at the top, above categorized projects.
- * @git_base_url_list
- List of git base URLs used for URL to where fetch project from, shown
- in project summary page. Full URL is "$git_base_url/$project".
- You can setup multiple base URLs (for example one for git:// protocol
- access, and one for http:// "dumb" protocol access). Note that per
- repository configuration in 'cloneurl' file, or as values of gitweb.url
- project config.
- * $default_blob_plain_mimetype
- Default mimetype for blob_plain (raw) view, if mimetype checking
- doesn't result in some other type; by default 'text/plain'.
- * $default_text_plain_charset
- Default charset for text files. If not set, web server configuration
- would be used.
- * $mimetypes_file
- File to use for (filename extension based) guessing of MIME types before
- trying /etc/mime.types. Path, if relative, is taken currently as
- relative to the current git repository.
- * $fallback_encoding
- Gitweb assumes this charset if line contains non-UTF-8 characters.
- Fallback decoding is used without error checking, so it can be even
- 'utf-8'. Value must be valid encoding; see Encoding::Supported(3pm) man
- page for a list. By default 'latin1', aka. 'iso-8859-1'.
- * @diff_opts
- Rename detection options for git-diff and git-diff-tree. By default
- ('-M'); set it to ('-C') or ('-C', '-C') to also detect copies, or
- set it to () if you don't want to have renames detection.
- * $prevent_xss
- If true, some gitweb features are disabled to prevent content in
- repositories from launching cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Set this
- to true if you don't trust the content of your repositories. The default
- is false.
- * $maxload
- Used to set the maximum load that we will still respond to gitweb queries.
- If server load exceed this value then return "503 Service Unavailable" error.
- Server load is taken to be 0 if gitweb cannot determine its value. Set it to
- undefined value to turn it off. The default is 300.
- * $highlight_bin
- Path to the highlight executable to use (must be the one from
- http://www.andre-simon.de due to assumptions about parameters and output).
- Useful if highlight is not installed on your webserver's PATH.
- [Default: highlight]
- * $per_request_config
- If set to code reference, it would be run once per each request. You can
- set parts of configuration that change per session, e.g. by setting it to
- sub { $ENV{GL_USER} = $cgi->remote_user || "gitweb"; }
- Otherwise it is treated as boolean value: if true gitweb would process
- config file once per request, if false it would process config file only
- once. Note: $my_url, $my_uri, and $base_url are overwritten with
- their default values before every request, so if you want to change
- them, be sure to set this variable to true or a code reference effecting
- the desired changes. The default is true.
