7cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
8
9
10SYNOPSIS
11--------
12Cgitrc contains all runtime settings for cgit, including the list of git
13repositories, formatted as a line-separated list of NAME=VALUE pairs. Blank
14lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored.
15
16
17LOCATION
18--------
19The default location of cgitrc, defined at compile time, is /etc/cgitrc. At
20runtime, cgit will consult the environment variable CGIT_CONFIG and, if
21defined, use its value instead.
22
23
24GLOBAL SETTINGS
25---------------
26about-filter::
27 Specifies a command which will be invoked to format the content of

30 command will be included verbatim on the about page. Default value:
31 none.
32
33agefile::
34 Specifies a path, relative to each repository path, which can be used
35 to specify the date and time of the youngest commit in the repository.
36 The first line in the file is used as input to the "parse_date"
37 function in libgit. Recommended timestamp-format is "yyyy-mm-dd
38 hh:mm:ss". Default value: "info/web/last-modified".

75
76commit-filter::
77 Specifies a command which will be invoked to format commit messages.

262 value: none.
263 NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
264 same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.

328
329REPOSITORY-SPECIFIC CGITRC FILE
330-------------------------------
331When the option 'scan-path' is used to auto-discover git repositories, cgit
332will try to parse the file 'cgitrc' within any found repository. Such a repo-
333specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific options described
334above, except 'repo.url' and 'repo.path'. Also, in a repo-specific config
335file, the 'repo.' prefix is dropped from the config option names.
