Installation
Building cgit involves building a proper version of git. How to do this
depends on how you obtained the cgit sources:
a) If you're working in a cloned cgit repository, you first need to
initialize and update the git submodule:
$ git submodule init # register the git submodule in .git/config
$ $EDITOR .git/config # if you want to specify a different url for git
$ git submodule update # clone/fetch and checkout correct git version
b) If you're building from a cgit tarball, you can download a proper git
version like this:
$ make get-git
When either a) or b) has been performed, you can build and install cgit like
this:
$ make
$ su
$ make install
$ sudo make install
This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit".
Note: The initial "make" will create a submodule 'git' and clone the git
repository at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git in it. If you
already have a local git git repository that you want to use as origin
for the submodule, run
$ git clone -s <path-to-git-repo> git
$ ./submodules.sh -u
before running "make".
This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit". You can
configure this location (and a few other things) by providing a "cgit.conf"
file (see the Makefile for details).

The mis(sing) features
The missing features
Submodule links in the directory listing page have a fixed format per
repository. This should probably be extended to a generic map between
submodule path and url.
* Submodule links in the directory listing page have a fixed format per
repository. This should probably be extended to a generic map between
submodule path and url.
* Branch- and tag-lists in the summary page can get very long, they should
probably only show something like the ten "latest modified" branches and
a similar number of "most recent" tags.
The end.
* There should be a new page for browsing refs/heads and refs/tags, with links
from the summary page whenever the branch/tag lists overflow.
* The log-page should have more/better search options (author, committer,
pickaxe, paths) and possibly support arbitrary revision specifiers.
* A set of test-scripts is required before cgit-1.0 can be released.
