11 | $ make | 11 | Building cgit involves building a proper version of git. How to do this |
12 | $ su | 12 | depends on how you obtained the cgit sources: |
13 | $ make install | 13 | |
14 | a) If you're working in a cloned cgit repository, you first need to | ||
15 | initialize and update the git submodule: | ||
16 | |||
17 | $ git submodule init # register the git submodule in .git/config | ||
18 | $ $EDITOR .git/config # if you want to specify a different url for git | ||
19 | $ git submodule update # clone/fetch and checkout correct git version | ||
20 | |||
21 | b) If you're building from a cgit tarball, you can download a proper git | ||
22 | version like this: | ||
14 | 23 | ||
15 | This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit". | 24 | $ make get-git |
16 | 25 | ||
17 | Note: The initial "make" will create a submodule 'git' and clone the git | ||
18 | repository at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git in it. If you | ||
19 | already have a local git git repository that you want to use as origin | ||
20 | for the submodule, run | ||
21 | 26 | ||
22 | $ git clone -s <path-to-git-repo> git | 27 | When either a) or b) has been performed, you can build and install cgit like |
23 | $ ./submodules.sh -u | 28 | this: |
24 | 29 | ||
25 | before running "make". | 30 | $ make |
31 | $ sudo make install | ||
26 | 32 | ||
33 | This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit". You can | ||
34 | configure this location (and a few other things) by providing a "cgit.conf" | ||
35 | file (see the Makefile for details). | ||

74 | The mis(sing) features | 83 | The missing features |
84 | |||
85 | * Submodule links in the directory listing page have a fixed format per | ||
86 | repository. This should probably be extended to a generic map between | ||
87 | submodule path and url. | ||
88 | |||
89 | * Branch- and tag-lists in the summary page can get very long, they should | ||
90 | probably only show something like the ten "latest modified" branches and | ||
91 | a similar number of "most recent" tags. | ||
92 | |||
93 | * There should be a new page for browsing refs/heads and refs/tags, with links | ||
94 | from the summary page whenever the branch/tag lists overflow. | ||
75 | 95 | ||
76 | Submodule links in the directory listing page have a fixed format per | 96 | * The log-page should have more/better search options (author, committer, |
77 | repository. This should probably be extended to a generic map between | 97 | pickaxe, paths) and possibly support arbitrary revision specifiers. |
78 | submodule path and url. | ||
