6 cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
7
9 Cgitrc contains all runtime settings for cgit, including the list of
10 git repositories, formatted as a line-separated list of NAME=VALUE
11 pairs. Blank lines, and lines starting with #, are ignored.
12
14 The default location of cgitrc, defined at compile time, is
15 /etc/cgitrc. At runtime, cgit will consult the environment variable
16 CGIT_CONFIG and, if defined, use its value instead.
17
19 about-filter
20 Specifies a command which will be invoked to format the content of
21 about pages (both top-level and for each repository). The command

315 Specifies a command which will be invoked to format the Owner
316 column of the main page. The command will get the owner on STDIN,
317 and the STDOUT from the command will be included verbatim in the
318 table. This can be used to link to additional context such as an
319 owners home page. When active this filter is used instead of the
320 default owner query url. Default value: none. See also: "FILTER
321 API".
322 project-list
324 A list of subdirectories inside of scan-path, relative to it, that
325 should loaded as git repositories. This must be defined prior to
326 scan-path. Default value: none. See also: scan-path, "MACRO
327 EXPANSION".
328 readme
330 Text which will be used as default value for "repo.readme".
331 Multiple config keys may be specified, and cgit will use the first
332 found file in this list. This is useful in conjunction with
333 scan-path. Default value: none. See also: scan-path, repo.readme.

336 If set to "1" and scan-path is enabled, if any repositories are
337 found with a suffix of ".git", this suffix will be removed for the
338 url and name. This must be defined prior to scan-path. Default
339 value: "0". See also: scan-path.
340 renamelimit
342 Maximum number of files to consider when detecting renames. The

348 values are "name" for sorting by the repo name or "age" for sorting
349 by the most recently updated repository. Default value: "name". See
350 also: section, case-sensitive-sort, section-sort.
351 robots
353 Text used as content for the "robots" meta-tag. Default value:
354 "index, nofollow".
355 root-desc
357 Text printed below the heading on the repository index page.
358 Default value: "a fast webinterface for the git dscm".

367 value: "Git Repository Browser".
368 scan-hidden-path
370 If set to "1" and scan-path is enabled, scan-path will recurse into
371 directories whose name starts with a period (.). Otherwise,
372 scan-path will stay away from such directories (considered as
373 "hidden"). Note that this does not apply to the ".git" directory in
374 non-bare repos. This must be defined prior to scan-path. Default
375 value: 0. See also: scan-path.
376 scan-path
378 A path which will be scanned for repositories. If caching is
379 enabled, the result will be cached as a cgitrc include-file in the
380 cache directory. If project-list has been defined prior to
381 scan-path, scan-path loads only the directories listed in the file
382 pointed to by project-list. Be advised that only the global
383 settings taken before the scan-path directive will be applied to
384 each repository. Default value: none. See also: cache-scanrc-ttl,
385 project-list, "MACRO EXPANSION".
386 section
388 The name of the current repository section - all repositories
389 defined after this option will inherit the current section name.
390 Default value: none.
391 section-sort
393 Flag which, when set to "1", will sort the sections on the
394 repository listing by name. Set this flag to "0" if the order in
395 the cgitrc file should be preserved. Default value: "1". See also:
396 section, case-sensitive-sort, repository-sort.
397 section-from-path
399 A number which, if defined prior to scan-path, specifies how many
400 path elements from each repo path to use as a default section name.
401 If negative, cgit will discard the specified number of path
402 elements above the repo directory. Default value: "0".
403 side-by-side-diffs
405 If set to "1" shows side-by-side diffs instead of unidiffs per
406 default. Default value: "0".
407 snapshots
409 Text which specifies the default set of snapshot formats that cgit
410 generates links for. The value is a space-separated list of zero or
411 more of the values "tar", "tar.gz", "tar.bz2", "tar.lz", "tar.xz",
412 "tar.zst" and "zip". The special value "all" enables all snapshot
413 formats. Default value: none. All compressors use default settings.
414 Some settings can be influenced with environment variables, for
415 example set ZSTD_CLEVEL=10 in web server environment for higher
416 (but slower) zstd compression.
417 source-filter
419 Specifies a command which will be invoked to format plaintext blobs
420 in the tree view. The command will get the blob content on its
421 STDIN and the name of the blob as its only command line argument.
422 The STDOUT from the command will be included verbatim as the blob
423 contents, i.e. this can be used to implement e.g. syntax
424 highlighting. Default value: none. See also: "FILTER API".
425 summary-branches
427 Specifies the number of branches to display in the repository
428 "summary" view. Default value: "10".

432 "summary" view. Default value: "10".
433 summary-tags
435 Specifies the number of tags to display in the repository "summary"
436 view. Default value: "10".
437 strict-export
439 Filename which, if specified, needs to be present within the
440 repository for cgit to allow access to that repository. This can be
441 used to emulate gitweb’s EXPORT_OK and STRICT_EXPORT functionality
442 and limit cgit’s repositories to match those exported by
443 git-daemon. This option must be defined prior to scan-path.
444 virtual-root
446 Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links.
447 It will also cause cgit to generate virtual urls, i.e. urls like
448 /cgit/tree/README as opposed to ?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README. Default
449 value: none. NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO
450 to achieve the same kind of virtual urls, so this option will
451 probably be deprecated.
452

474 ordering. If unset, the default ordering of "git log" is used.
475 Default value: unset.
476 repo.defbranch
478 The name of the default branch for this repository. If no such
479 branch exists in the repository, the first branch name (when
480 sorted) is used as default instead. Default value: branch pointed

613 When the option "scan-path" is used to auto-discover git repositories,
614 cgit will try to parse the file "cgitrc" within any found repository.
615 Such a repo-specific config file may contain any of the repo-specific
616 options described above, except "repo.url" and "repo.path".
617 Additionally, the "filter" options are only acknowledged in
618 repo-specific config files when "enable-filter-overrides" is set to
619 "1".
620 Note: the "repo." prefix is dropped from the option names in
622 repo-specific config files, e.g. "repo.desc" becomes "desc".
623
625 By default, filters are separate processes that are executed each time
626 they are needed. Alternative technologies may be used by prefixing the
627 filter specification with the relevant string; available values are:
628 exec:
630 The default "one process per filter" mode.
631 lua:
633 Executes the script using a built-in Lua interpreter. The script is
634 loaded once per execution of cgit, and may be called multiple times
635 during cgit’s lifetime, making it a good choice for repeated
636 filters such as the email filter. It responds to three functions:
637 filter_open(argument1, argument2, argument3, ...)
639 This is called upon activation of the filter for a particular set
640 of data.
641 filter_write(buffer)
643 This is called whenever cgit writes data to the webpage.
644 filter_close()
646 This is called when the current filtering operation is completed.
647 It must return an integer value. Usually 0 indicates success.
648 Additionally, cgit exposes to the Lua the following built-in functions:
650 html(str)
652 Writes str to the webpage.
653 html_txt(str)
655 HTML escapes and writes str to the webpage.
656 html_attr(str)
658 HTML escapes for an attribute and writes "str' to the webpage.
659 html_url_path(str)
661 URL escapes for a path and writes str to the webpage.
662 html_url_arg(str)
664 URL escapes for an argument and writes str to the webpage.
665 html_include(file)
667 Includes file in webpage.
668 Parameters are provided to filters as follows.
670 about filter
672 This filter is given a single parameter: the filename of the source
673 file to filter. The filter can use the filename to determine (for
674 example) the type of syntax to follow when formatting the readme
675 file. The about text that is to be filtered is available on
676 standard input and the filtered text is expected on standard
677 output.
678 auth filter
680 The authentication filter receives 12 parameters:
681 • filter action, explained below, which specifies which action
683 the filter is called for
684 • http cookie
686 • http method
688 • http referer
690 • http path
692 • http https flag
694 • cgit repo
696 • cgit page
698 • cgit url
700 • cgit login url When the filter action is "body", this filter
702 must write to output the HTML for displaying the login form,
703 which POSTs to the login url. When the filter action is
704 "authenticate-cookie", this filter must validate the http
705 cookie and return a 0 if it is invalid or 1 if it is invalid,
706 in the exit code / close function. If the filter action is
707 "authenticate-post", this filter receives POST’d parameters on
708 standard input, and should write a complete CGI response,
709 preferably with a 302 redirect, and write to output one or more
710 "Set-Cookie" HTTP headers, each followed by a newline.
711 Please see `filters/simple-authentication.lua` for a clear example
713 script that may be modified.
714 commit filter
716 This filter is given no arguments. The commit message text that is
717 to be filtered is available on standard input and the filtered text
718 is expected on standard output.
719 email filter
721 This filter is given two parameters: the email address of the
722 relevant author and a string indicating the originating page. The
723 filter will then receive the text string to format on standard
724 input and is expected to write to standard output the formatted
725 text to be included in the page.
726 owner filter
728 This filter is given no arguments. The owner text is available on
729 standard input and the filter is expected to write to standard
730 output. The output is included in the Owner column.
731 source filter
733 This filter is given a single parameter: the filename of the source
734 file to filter. The filter can use the filename to determine (for
735 example) the syntax highlighting mode. The contents of the source
736 file that is to be filtered is available on standard input and the
737 filtered contents is expected on standard output.
738 All filters are handed the following environment variables:
740 • CGIT_REPO_URL (from repo.url)
742 • CGIT_REPO_NAME (from repo.name)
744 • CGIT_REPO_PATH (from repo.path)
746 • CGIT_REPO_OWNER (from repo.owner)
748 • CGIT_REPO_DEFBRANCH (from repo.defbranch)
750 • CGIT_REPO_SECTION (from repo.section)
752 • CGIT_REPO_CLONE_URL (from repo.clone-url)
754 If a setting is not defined for a repository and the corresponding
756 global setting is also not defined (if applicable), then the
757 corresponding environment variable will be unset.
758
760 The following cgitrc options support a simple macro expansion feature,
761 where tokens prefixed with "$" are replaced with the value of a
762 similarly named environment variable:
763 • cache-root
765 • include
767 • project-list
769 • scan-path
771 Macro expansion will also happen on the content of $CGIT_CONFIG, if
773 defined.
774 One usage of this feature is virtual hosting, which in its simplest
776 form can be accomplished by adding the following line to /etc/cgitrc:
777 include=/etc/cgitrc.d/$HTTP_HOST
779 The following options are expanded during request processing, and
781 support the environment variables defined in "FILTER API":
782 • clone-url
784 • repo.clone-url
786
788 All cache ttl values are in minutes. Negative ttl values indicate that
789 a page type will never expire, and thus the first time a URL is
790 accessed, the result will be cached indefinitely, even if the
791 underlying git repository changes. Conversely, when a ttl value is
792 zero, the cache is disabled for that particular page type, and the page
793 type is never cached.
794
796 Cgit can host .asc signatures corresponding to various snapshot
797 formats, through use of git notes. For example, the following command
798 may be used to add a signature to a .tar.xz archive:
799 git notes --ref=refs/notes/signatures/tar.xz add -C "$(
801 gpg --output - --armor --detach-sign cgit-1.1.tar.xz |
802 git hash-object -w --stdin
803 )" v1.1
804 If it is instead desirable to attach a signature of the underlying
806 .tar, this will be linked, as a special case, beside a .tar.* link that
807 does not have its own signature. For example, a signature of a tarball
808 of the latest tag might be added with a similar command:
809 tag="$(git describe --abbrev=0)"
811 git notes --ref=refs/notes/signatures/tar add -C "$(
812 git archive --format tar --prefix "cgit-${tag#v}/" "$tag" |
813 gpg --output - --armor --detach-sign |
814 git hash-object -w --stdin
815 )" "$tag"
816 Since git-archive(1) is expected to produce stable output between
818 versions, this allows one to generate a long-term signature of the
819 contents of a given tag.
