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. +See also gitweb.conf(5) manpage. + Projects list file format ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
