CGITRC(5)
========
NAME
----
cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
SYNOPSIS
--------
Cgitrc contains all runtime settings for cgit, including the list of git
repositories, formatted as a line-separated list of NAME=VALUE pairs. Blank
lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored.
LOCATION
--------
The default location of cgitrc, defined at compile time, is /etc/cgitrc. At
runtime, cgit will consult the environment variable CGIT_CONFIG and, if
defined, use its value instead.
GLOBAL SETTINGS
---------------
about-filter::
Specifies a command which will be invoked to format the content of
about pages (both top-level and for each repository). The command will
get the content of the about-file on its STDIN, and the STDOUT from the
command will be included verbatim on the about page. Default value:
none. See also: "FILTER API".
agefile::
Specifies a path, relative to each repository path, which can be used
to specify the date and time of the youngest commit in the repository.
The first line in the file is used as input to the "parse_date"
function in libgit. Recommended timestamp-format is "yyyy-mm-dd
hh:mm:ss". Default value: "info/web/last-modified".
cache-root::
Path used to store the cgit cache entries. Default value:
"/var/cache/cgit". See also: "MACRO EXPANSION".

Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
version of repository pages accessed without a fixed SHA1. Default
value: "5".
cache-repo-ttl::
Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
version of the repository summary page. Default value: "5".
cache-root-ttl::
Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
version of the repository index page. Default value: "5".
cache-scanrc-ttl::
Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the result
of scanning a path for git repositories. Default value: "15".
cache-size::
The maximum number of entries in the cgit cache. Default value: "0"
(i.e. caching is disabled).
cache-static-ttl::
Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
version of repository pages accessed with a fixed SHA1. Default value:
"5".
case-sensitive-sort::
Sort items in the repo list case sensitively. Default value: "1".
See also: repository-sort, section-sort.
clone-prefix::
Space-separated list of common prefixes which, when combined with a
repository url, generates valid clone urls for the repository. This
setting is only used if `repo.clone-url` is unspecified. Default value:
none.
clone-url::
Space-separated list of clone-url templates. This setting is only
used if `repo.clone-url` is unspecified. Default value: none. See
also: "MACRO EXPANSION", "FILTER API".
commit-filter::
Specifies a command which will be invoked to format commit messages.
The command will get the message on its STDIN, and the STDOUT from the
command will be included verbatim as the commit message, i.e. this can
be used to implement bugtracker integration. Default value: none.
See also: "FILTER API".
css::
Url which specifies the css document to include in all cgit pages.
Default value: "/cgit.css".

If you use an alternate way of serving git repositories, you may wish
to disable this. Default value: "1".
enable-index-links::
Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit generate extra links for
each repo in the repository index (specifically, to the "summary",
"commit" and "tree" pages). Default value: "0".

"scan-path" to augment _repo._ settings. The keys gitweb.owner,
gitweb.category, and gitweb.description will map to the cgit keys
repo.owner, repo.section, and repo.desc, respectivly. All git config
keys that begin with "cgit." will be mapped to the corresponding "repo."
key in cgit. Default value: "0". See also: scan-path section-from-path.
favicon::
Url used as link to a shortcut icon for cgit. If specified, it is
suggested to use the value "/favicon.ico" since certain browsers will

servers timezone. Default value: "0".
commit-sort::
Flag which, when set to "date", enables strict date ordering in the
commit log, and when set to "topo" enables strict topological
ordering. If unset, the default ordering of "git log" is used. Default

mimetype.<ext>::
Set the mimetype for the specified filename extension. This is used
by the `plain` command when returning blob content.
mimetype-file::
Specifies the file to use for automatic mimetype lookup. If specified
then this field is used as a fallback when no "mimetype.<ext>" match is
found. If unspecified then no such lookup is performed. The typical file

with a suffix of ".git", this suffix will be removed for the url and
name. Default value: "0". See also: scan-path.
renamelimit::
Maximum number of files to consider when detecting renames. The value
"-1" uses the compiletime value in git (for further info, look at

"hidden"). Note that this does not apply to the ".git" directory in
non-bare repos. This must be defined prior to scan-path.
Default value: 0. See also: scan-path.
scan-path::
A path which will be scanned for repositories. If caching is enabled,
the result will be cached as a cgitrc include-file in the cache
directory. If project-list has been defined prior to scan-path,
scan-path loads only the directories listed in the file pointed to by
project-list. Be advised that only the global settings taken
before the scan-path directive will be applied to each repository.
Default value: none. See also: cache-scanrc-ttl, project-list,
"MACRO EXPANSION".
section::
The name of the current repository section - all repositories defined
after this option will inherit the current section name. Default value:
none.
repository-sort::
The way in which repositories in each section are sorted. Valid values
are "name" for sorting by the repo name or "age" for sorting by the
most recently updated repository. Default value: "name". See also:
section, case-sensitive-sort, section-sort.
section-sort::
Flag which, when set to "1", will sort the sections on the repository
listing by name. Set this flag to "0" if the order in the cgitrc file should
be preserved. Default value: "1". See also: section,
case-sensitive-sort, repository-sort.
section-from-path::
A number which, if specified before scan-path, specifies how many
path elements from each repo path to use as a default section name.
If negative, cgit will discard the specified number of path elements
above the repo directory. Default value: "0".
side-by-side-diffs::
If set to "1" shows side-by-side diffs instead of unidiffs per
default. Default value: "0".
snapshots::
Text which specifies the default set of snapshot formats generated by
cgit. The value is a space-separated list of zero or more of the
values "tar", "tar.gz", "tar.bz2", "tar.xz" and "zip". Default value:
none.
source-filter::
Specifies a command which will be invoked to format plaintext blobs
in the tree view. The command will get the blob content on its STDIN
and the name of the blob as its only command line argument. The STDOUT
from the command will be included verbatim as the blob contents, i.e.
this can be used to implement e.g. syntax highlighting. Default value:
none. See also: "FILTER API".
summary-branches::
Specifies the number of branches to display in the repository "summary"
view. Default value: "10".
summary-log::
Specifies the number of log entries to display in the repository
"summary" view. Default value: "10".
summary-tags::
Specifies the number of tags to display in the repository "summary"
view. Default value: "10".
strict-export::
Filename which, if specified, needs to be present within the repository
for cgit to allow access to that repository. This can be used to emulate
gitweb's EXPORT_OK and STRICT_EXPORT functionality and limit cgit's
repositories to match those exported by git-daemon. This option MUST come
before 'scan-path'.
virtual-root::
Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It
will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
'/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
value: none.
NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.

REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
-------------------------------
When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
"enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
FILTER API
----------
about filter::
This filter is given no arguments. The about text that is to be
filtered is available on standard input and the filtered text is
expected on standard output.
commit filter::
This filter is given no arguments. The commit message text that is to
be filtered is available on standard input and the filtered text is
expected on standard output.
source filter::
This filter is given a single parameter: the filename of the source
file to filter. The filter can use the filename to determine (for
example) the syntax highlighting mode. The contents of the source
file that is to be filtered is available on standard input and the
filtered contents is expected on standard output.
Also, all filters are handed the following environment variables:
- CGIT_REPO_URL (from repo.url)
- CGIT_REPO_NAME (from repo.name)
- CGIT_REPO_PATH (from repo.path)
- CGIT_REPO_OWNER (from repo.owner)
- CGIT_REPO_DEFBRANCH (from repo.defbranch)
- CGIT_REPO_SECTION (from repo.section)
- CGIT_REPO_CLONE_URL (from repo.clone-url)
If a setting is not defined for a repository and the corresponding global
setting is also not defined (if applicable), then the corresponding
environment variable will be unset.
MACRO EXPANSION
---------------
The following cgitrc options supports a simple macro expansion feature,
where tokens prefixed with "$" are replaced with the value of a similary
named environment variable:
- cache-root
- include
- project-list
- scan-path
Macro expansion will also happen on the content of $CGIT_CONFIG, if
defined.
One usage of this feature is virtual hosting, which in its simplest form
can be accomplished by adding the following line to /etc/cgitrc:
include=/etc/cgitrc.d/$HTTP_HOST
The following options are expanded during request processing, and support
the environment variables defined in "FILTER API":
- clone-url
- repo.clone-url
