You can find further + description on how to reconfigure the default features setting in your + `GITWEB_CONFIG` or per-project in `project.git/config` inside 'gitweb.cgi'. + + +Webserver configuration +----------------------- + +If you want to have one URL for both gitweb and your http:// +repositories, you can configure apache like this: + + + ServerName git.domain.org + DocumentRoot /pub/git + RewriteEngine on + RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(info|objects|refs)).*)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi%{REQUEST_URI} [L,PT] + SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf + + +The above configuration expects your public repositories to live under +/pub/git and will serve them as http://git.domain.org/dir-under-pub-git, +both as cloneable GIT URL and as browseable gitweb interface. +If you then start your git-daemon with --base-path=/pub/git --export-all +then you can even use the git:// URL with exactly the same path. + +Setting the environment variable GITWEB_CONFIG will tell gitweb to use +the named file (i.e. in this example /etc/gitweb.conf) as a +configuration for gitweb. Perl variables defined in here will +override the defaults given at the head of the gitweb.perl (or +gitweb.cgi). Look at the comments in that file for information on +which variables and what they mean. + + Originally written by: Kay Sievers
