<h2>NAME</h2>

<p>gitweb.conf -
   Gitweb (Git web interface) configuration file
</p>
</div>

<div class="sect1">

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>/etc/gitweb.conf, /etc/gitweb-common.conf, $GITWEBDIR/gitweb_config.perl</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>The gitweb CGI script for viewing Git repositories over the web uses a
perl script fragment as its configuration file.  You can set variables
using "<code>our $variable = value</code>"; text from a "#" character until the
end of a line is ignored.  See <strong>perlsyn</strong>(1) for details.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>An example:</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code># gitweb configuration file for http://git.example.org
#
our $projectroot = "/srv/git"; # FHS recommendation
our $site_name = 'Example.org &gt;&gt; Repos';</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The configuration file is used to override the default settings that
were built into gitweb at the time the <em>gitweb.cgi</em> script was generated.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>While one could just alter the configuration settings in the gitweb
CGI itself, those changes would be lost upon upgrade.  Configuration
settings might also be placed into a file in the same directory as the
CGI script with the default name <em>gitweb_config.perl</em>&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;allowing
one to have multiple gitweb instances with different configurations by
the use of symlinks.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that some configuration can be controlled on per-repository rather than
gitweb-wide basis: see "Per-repository gitweb configuration" subsection on
<a href="gitweb.html">gitweb(1)</a> manpage.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_discussion">DISCUSSION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Gitweb reads configuration data from the following sources in the
following order:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
built-in values (some set during build stage),
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
common system-wide configuration file (defaults to
   <em>/etc/gitweb-common.conf</em>),
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
either per-instance configuration file (defaults to <em>gitweb_config.perl</em>
   in the same directory as the installed gitweb), or if it does not exists
   then fallback system-wide configuration file (defaults to <em>/etc/gitweb.conf</em>).
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Values obtained in later configuration files override values obtained earlier
in the above sequence.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Locations of the common system-wide configuration file, the fallback
system-wide configuration file and the per-instance configuration file
are defined at compile time using build-time Makefile configuration
variables, respectively <code>GITWEB_CONFIG_COMMON</code>, <code>GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM</code>
and <code>GITWEB_CONFIG</code>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>You can also override locations of gitweb configuration files during
runtime by setting the following environment variables:
<code>GITWEB_CONFIG_COMMON</code>, <code>GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM</code> and <code>GITWEB_CONFIG</code>
to a non-empty value.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The syntax of the configuration files is that of Perl, since these files are
handled by sourcing them as fragments of Perl code (the language that
gitweb itself is written in). Variables are typically set using the
<code>our</code> qualifier (as in "<code>our $variable = &lt;value&gt;;</code>") to avoid syntax
errors if a new version of gitweb no longer uses a variable and therefore
stops declaring it.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>You can include other configuration file using read_config_file()
subroutine.  For example, one might want to put gitweb configuration
related to access control for viewing repositories via Gitolite (one
of Git repository management tools) in a separate file, e.g. in
<em>/etc/gitweb-gitolite.conf</em>.  To include it, put</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>read_config_file("/etc/gitweb-gitolite.conf");</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>somewhere in gitweb configuration file used, e.g. in per-installation
gitweb configuration file.  Note that read_config_file() checks itself
that the file it reads exists, and does nothing if it is not found.
It also handles errors in included file.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The default configuration with no configuration file at all may work
perfectly well for some installations.  Still, a configuration file is
useful for customizing or tweaking the behavior of gitweb in many ways, and
some optional features will not be present unless explicitly enabled using
the configurable <code>%features</code> variable (see also "Configuring gitweb
features" section below).</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_configuration_variables">CONFIGURATION VARIABLES</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Some configuration variables have their default values (embedded in the CGI

<p>
        List (array reference) of feature parameters (if there are any),

</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that it is currently <strong>always</strong> an array reference, even if
feature doesn&#8217;t accept any configuration parameters, and 'default'
is used only to turn it on or off.  In such case you turn feature on
by setting this element to <code>[1]</code>, and torn it off by setting it to
<code>[0]</code>.  See also the passage about the "blame" feature in the "Examples"
section.</p></div>

blame

        Enable the "blame" and "blame_incremental" blob views, showing for
        each line the last commit that modified it; see <a href="git-blame.html">git-blame(1)</a>.
        This can be very CPU-intensive and is therefore disabled by default.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This feature can be configured on a per-repository basis via
repository&#8217;s <code>gitweb.blame</code> configuration variable (boolean).</p></div>

        download a compressed archive of any tree or commit, as produced
        by <a href="git-archive.html">git-archive(1)</a> and possibly additionally compressed.
        This can potentially generate high traffic if you have large project.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The value of 'default' is a list of names of snapshot formats,
defined in <code>%known_snapshot_formats</code> hash, that you wish to offer.
Supported formats include "tgz", "tbz2", "txz" (gzip/bzip2/xz
compressed tar archive) and "zip"; please consult gitweb sources for
a definitive list.  By default only "tgz" is offered.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This feature can be configured on a per-repository basis via
repository&#8217;s <code>gitweb.blame</code> configuration variable, which contains
a comma separated list of formats or "none" to disable snapshots.

        tree (directory) containing the given string; see <a href="git-grep.html">git-grep(1)</a>.
        This can be potentially CPU-intensive, of course.  Enabled by default.

pickaxe

<dd>
<p>
        Enable the so called pickaxe search, which will list the commits
        that introduced or removed a given string in a file.  This can be
        practical and quite faster alternative to "blame" action, but it is
        still potentially CPU-intensive.  Enabled by default.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The pickaxe search is described in <a href="git-log.html">git-log(1)</a> (the

        <code>-l</code> option in <a href="git-ls-tree.html">git-ls-tree(1)</a> manpage.  This costs a bit of
        I/O.  Enabled by default.

        Enable and configure "patches" view, which displays list of commits in email
        (plain text) output format; see also <a href="git-format-patch.html">git-format-patch(1)</a>.
        The value is the maximum number of patches in a patchset generated
        in "patches" view.  Set the <em>default</em> field to a list containing single
        item of or to an empty list to disable patch view, or to a list
        containing a single negative number to remove any limit.
        Default value is 16.

        the email of each committer and author.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Currently available providers are <strong>"gravatar"</strong> and <strong>"picon"</strong>.
Only one provider at a time can be selected (<em>default</em> is one element list).

repository&#8217;s <code>gitweb.avatar</code> configuration variable.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>See also <code>%avatar_size</code> with pixel sizes for icons and avatars
("default" is used for one-line like "log" and "shortlog", "double"
is used for two-line like "commit", "commitdiff" or "tag").  If the
default font sizes or lineheights are changed (e.g. via adding extra
