10cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
11
12
13SYNOPSIS
14--------
15Cgitrc contains all runtime settings for cgit, including the list of git
16repositories, formatted as a line-separated list of NAME=VALUE pairs. Blank
17lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored.
18
19
20LOCATION
21--------
22The default location of cgitrc, defined at compile time, is /etc/cgitrc. At
23runtime, cgit will consult the environment variable CGIT_CONFIG and, if
24defined, use its value instead.

275 directory. If project-list has been defined prior to scan-path,

277 project-list. Default value: none. See also: cache-scanrc-ttl,

305 this can be used to implement e.g. syntax highlighting. Default value:

321 Filename which, if specified, needs to be present within the repository
322 for cgit to allow access to that repository. This can be used to emulate
323 gitweb's EXPORT_OK and STRICT_EXPORT functionality and limit cgit's
324 repositories to match those exported by git-daemon. This option MUST come
325 before 'scan-path'.
326
327virtual-root::
328 Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It
329 will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
330 '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
331 value: none.
332 NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
333 same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.

410
411
412REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
413-------------------------------
414When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
415will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository. Such a
416repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options
417described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path". Additionally, the "filter"
418options are only acknowledged in repo-specific config files when
419"enable-filter-overrides" is set to "1".
420
421Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in repo-specific
422config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
