GIT web Interface
=================
The one working on:
http://www.kernel.org/git/
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'. If the environment
$GITWEB_CONFIG is set when gitweb.cgi is executed the file in the
environment variable will be loaded instead of the file
specified when gitweb.cgi was created.
Webserver configuration
-----------------------
If you want to have one URL for both gitweb and your http://
repositories, you can configure apache like this:
<VirtualHost www:80>
ServerName git.domain.org
DocumentRoot /pub/git
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(info|objects|refs)).*)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi%{REQUEST_URI} [L,PT]
</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.
