Cgit is a Free Software that allows browsing git repositories through - the web. </p> - - <p> - Note that Cgit is a read-only frontend for Git repositories and doesn't have issues, pull requests - or user management.

Add the following configuration - to your server to pass the requests to Cgit, while serving static files directly:</p> - - <pre><code>server { - listen 443 ssl; - listen [::]:443 ssl; - ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/nginx/<strong>git.example.org</strong>.crt; - ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/nginx/<strong>git.example.org</strong>.key; - server_name <strong>git.example.org</strong>; - - root /usr/share/cgit ; - try_files $uri @cgit ; - - location @cgit { - include fastcgi_params; - fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/lib/cgit/cgit.cgi; - fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $request_uri; - fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string; - fastcgi_pass unix:/run/fcgiwrap.socket; - } -}</code></pre> - - <p>Then get NGINX to reload your configuration.</p> - - <h2>Configuring cgit</h2> - <p>You've got cgit up and running now, but you'll probably see it without any style and without any repository. - To change this, we need to configure Cgit to our liking, by editing <code>/etc/cgitrc</code>. - </p> - - <pre><code>css=/cgit.css -logo=/cgit.svg -virtual-root=/ - -# Title and description shown on top of each page -root-title=<strong>Chad's git server</strong> -root-desc=<strong>A web interface to LandChad's git repositories, powered by Cgit</strong> - -# The location where git repos are stored on the server -scan-path=/srv/git/</code></pre> - - <p>This configuration assumes you followed the <a href="/git">git hosting guide</a> and store your repositories - on the <code>/srv/git/</code> directory.</p> - - <p>Cgit's configuration allows changing many settings, as documented on the cgitrc(5) manpage installed with - Cgit.</p> - - <h3>Changing the displayed repository owner</h3> - - <p>Cgit's main page shows each repo's owner, which is "git" in case you followed the git hosting guide, but you - might want to change the name to yours. Cgit shows the owner's system name, so you need to modify the git - user - to give it your name:</p> - - <pre><code>usermod -c "<strong>Your Name</strong>" git</code></pre> - - <h3>Changing the repository description</h3> - - <p>Navigate to your bare repository on the server and edit the <code>description</code> file inside it</p> - - <h3>Displaying the repository idle time</h3> - - <p>To do this, we need to create a post-receive hook for each repository that updates the file cgit uses - to determine the idle time. Inside your repository, create a file <code>hooks/post-receive</code> and add - the following contents:</p> - - <pre><code>#!/bin/sh - -agefile="$(git rev-parse --git-dir)"/info/web/last-modified - -mkdir -p "$(dirname "$agefile")" && -git for-each-ref \ - --sort=-authordate --count=1 \ - --format='%(authordate:iso8601)' \ - >"$agefile"</code></pre> - - <p>And give it execution permissions with:</p> - - <pre><code>chmod +x hooks/post-receive</code></pre> - - <p>Next time you push to that repository, the idle time should reset and show the correct value.</p> - - <h2>Contribution</h2> - <ul> - <li>Ariel Costas – <a href="https://costas.dev">website</a>, <a - href="https://costas.dev/donations/">donations</a></li> - </ul> - </main> - <footer><a href="https://landchad.net">LandChad.net</a></br>Because Everyone should be an Internet LandChad.</br><a - href="index.html"> - <li><img src="pix/chad.gif" alt="chad"></li> - </a><a href="rss.xml"> - <li><img src="pix/rss.svg" alt="RSS"></li> - </a><a href="pix/btc.png"> - <li><img src="pix/btc.svg" alt="BTC"></li> - </a><a href="pix/xmr.png"> - <li><img src="pix/xmr.svg" alt="XMR"></li> - </a><a href="https://github.com/lukesmithxyz/landchad"> - <li><img src="pix/git.svg" alt="Github"></li> - </a></footer> -</body> - -</html> |
