Installation
- $ make gitsrc=<path>
+ $ make
$ su
- $ make prefix=<path> install
+ $ make install
+This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit".
-Default value for gitsrc is "../git", and this directory should contain the
-git sources.
+Note: The initial "make" will create a submodule 'git' and clone the git
+repository at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git in it. If you
+already have a local git git repository that you want to use as origin
+for the submodule, run
-Default value for prefix is "/var/www/htdocs/cgit". This directory will
-contain "cgit.cgi" and "cgit.css" after 'make install'.
+ $ git clone -s <path-to-git-repo> git
+ $ ./submodules.sh -u
-After installation, httpd.conf probably must be updated with a Directory-
-section for cgit, possibly something like this:
+before running "make".

+Dependencies

+ -git (1.5.2-rc0 or newer, due to git submodule) installed
