![]() Now the following types of path based URLs are supported: * project overview (summary) page of project * project/branch shortlog of branch * project/branch:file file in branch, blob_plain view * project/branch:dir/ directory listing of dir in branch, tree view The following shortcuts works (see explanation below): * project/branch: directory listing of branch, main tree view * project/:file file in HEAD (raw) * project/:dir/ directory listing of dir in HEAD * project/: directory listing of project's HEAD We use ':' as separator between branch (ref) name and file name (pathname) because valid branch (ref) name cannot have ':' inside. This limit applies to branch name only. This allow for hierarchical branches e.g. topic branch 'topic/subtopic', separate remotes tracking branches e.g. 'refs/remotes/origin/HEAD', and discriminate between head (branch) and tag with the same name. Empty branch should be interpreted as HEAD. If pathname (the part after ':') ends with '/', we assume that pathname is name of directory, and we want to show contents of said directory using "tree" view. If pathname is empty, it is equivalent to '/' (top directory). If pathname (the part after ':') does not end with '/', we assume that pathname is name of file, and we show contents of said file using "blob_plain" view. Pathname is stripped of leading '/', so we can use ':/' to separate branch from pathname. The rationale behind support for PATH_INFO based URLs was to support project web pages for small projects: just create an html branch and then use an URL like http://nowhere.com/gitweb.cgi/project.git/html:/index.html The ':/' syntax allow for working links between .html files served in such way, e.g. <a href="main.html"> link inside "index.html" would get http://nowhere.com/gitweb.cgi/project.git/html:/main.html.

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.
