<h2>NAME</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>gitweb -
Git web interface (web frontend to Git repositories)
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>To get started with gitweb, run <a href="git-instaweb.html">git-instaweb(1)</a> from a Git repository.
This would configure and start your web server, and run web browser pointing to
gitweb.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Gitweb provides a web interface to Git repositories. Its features include:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
Viewing multiple Git repositories with common root.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Browsing every revision of the repository.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Viewing the contents of files in the repository at any revision.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Viewing the revision log of branches, history of files and directories,
see what was changed when, by who.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Viewing the blame/annotation details of any file (if enabled).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Generating RSS and Atom feeds of commits, for any branch.
The feeds are auto-discoverable in modern web browsers.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Viewing everything that was changed in a revision, and step through
revisions one at a time, viewing the history of the repository.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Finding commits which commit messages matches given search term.
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>See <a href="http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=tree;f=gitweb">http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=tree;f=gitweb</a> or
<a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/tree/HEAD:/gitweb/">http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/tree/HEAD:/gitweb/</a> for gitweb source code,
browsed using gitweb itself.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_configuration">CONFIGURATION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Various aspects of gitweb’s behavior can be controlled through the configuration
file <em>gitweb_config.perl</em> or <em>/etc/gitweb.conf</em>. See the <a href="gitweb.conf.html">gitweb.conf(5)</a>
for details.</p></div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_repositories">Repositories</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Gitweb can show information from one or more Git repositories. These
repositories have to be all on local filesystem, and have to share common
repository root, i.e. be all under a single parent repository (but see also
"Advanced web server setup" section, "Webserver configuration with multiple
projects' root" subsection).</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>our $projectroot = '/path/to/parent/directory';</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The default value for <code>$projectroot</code> is <em>/pub/git</em>. You can change it during
building gitweb via <code>GITWEB_PROJECTROOT</code> build configuration variable.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>By default all Git repositories under <code>$projectroot</code> are visible and available
to gitweb. The list of projects is generated by default by scanning the
<code>$projectroot</code> directory for Git repositories (for object databases to be
more exact; gitweb is not interested in a working area, and is best suited
to showing "bare" repositories).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The name of the repository in gitweb is the path to its <code>$GIT_DIR</code> (its object
database) relative to <code>$projectroot</code>. Therefore the repository $repo can be
found at "$projectroot/$repo".</p></div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_projects_list_file_format">Projects list file format</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Instead of having gitweb find repositories by scanning filesystem
starting from $projectroot, you can provide a pre-generated list of
visible projects by setting <code>$projects_list</code> to point to a plain text
file with a list of projects (with some additional info).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This file uses the following format:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
One record (for project / repository) per line; does not support line
continuation (newline escaping).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Leading and trailing whitespace are ignored.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Whitespace separated fields; any run of whitespace can be used as field
separator (rules for Perl’s "<code>split(" ", $line)</code>").
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fields use modified URI encoding, defined in RFC 3986, section 2.1
(Percent-Encoding), or rather "Query string encoding" (see
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string#URL_encoding">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string#URL_encoding</a>), the difference
being that SP (" ") can be encoded as "+" (and therefore "+" has to be
also percent-encoded).
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Reserved characters are: "%" (used for encoding), "+" (can be used to
encode SPACE), all whitespace characters as defined in Perl, including SP,
TAB and LF, (used to separate fields in a record).</p></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Currently recognized fields are:
</p>
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<repository path>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
path to repository GIT_DIR, relative to <code>$projectroot</code>
</p>
</dd>

<h3 id="_controlling_access_to_git_repositories">Controlling access to Git repositories</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>By default all Git repositories under <code>$projectroot</code> are visible and
available to gitweb. You can however configure how gitweb controls access
to repositories.</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
As described in "Projects list file format" section, you can control which
projects are <strong>visible</strong> by selectively including repositories in projects
list file, and setting <code>$projects_list</code> gitweb configuration variable to
point to it. With <code>$strict_export</code> set, projects list file can be used to
control which repositories are <strong>available</strong> as well.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
You can configure gitweb to only list and allow viewing of the explicitly
exported repositories, via <code>$export_ok</code> variable in gitweb config file; see
<a href="gitweb.conf.html">gitweb.conf(5)</a> manpage. If it evaluates to true, gitweb shows
repositories only if this file named by <code>$export_ok</code> exists in its object
database (if directory has the magic file named <code>$export_ok</code>).
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>For example <a href="git-daemon.html">git-daemon(1)</a> by default (unless <code>--export-all</code> option
is used) allows pulling only for those repositories that have
<em>git-daemon-export-ok</em> file. Adding</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>our $export_ok = "git-daemon-export-ok";</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>makes gitweb show and allow access only to those repositories that can be
fetched from via <code>git://</code> protocol.</p></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Finally, it is possible to specify an arbitrary perl subroutine that will
be called for each repository to determine if it can be exported. The
subroutine receives an absolute path to the project (repository) as its only
parameter (i.e. "$projectroot/$project").
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>For example, if you use mod_perl to run the script, and have dumb
HTTP protocol authentication configured for your repositories, you
can use the following hook to allow access only if the user is
authorized to read the files:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$export_auth_hook = sub {
use Apache2::SubRequest ();
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(HTTP_OK);

my $r = Apache2::RequestUtil->request;
my $sub = $r->lookup_file($path);

access to your project .git dirs (described in "Single URL for gitweb and

following: in your project root dir (e.g. <em>/pub/git</em>) have the projects
named <strong>without</strong> a .git extension (e.g. <em>/pub/git/project</em> instead of
