+NAME
+----
+ cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Cgitrc contains all runtime settings for cgit, including the list of git
+repositories, formatted as a line-separated list of NAME=VALUE pairs. Blank
+lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored.
+
+
+GLOBAL SETTINGS
+---------------
+agefile
+ Specifies a path, relative to each repository path, which can be used
+ to specify the date and time of the youngest commit in the repository.
+ The first line in the file is used as input to the "parse_date"
+ function in libgit. Recommended timestamp-format is "yyyy-mm-dd
+ hh:mm:ss". Default value: "info/web/last-modified".
+
+cache-root
+ Path used to store the cgit cache entries. Default value:
+ "/var/cache/cgit".
+
+cache-dynamic-ttl
+ Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
+ version of repository pages accessed without a fixed SHA1. Default
+ value: "5".
+
+cache-repo-ttl
+ Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
+ version of the repository summary page. Default value: "5".
+
+cache-root-ttl
+ Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
+ version of the repository index page. Default value: "5".
+
+cache-size
+ The maximum number of entries in the cgit cache. Default value: "0"
+ (i.e. caching is disabled).
+
+cache-static-ttl
+ Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
+ version of repository pages accessed with a fixed SHA1. Default value:
+ "5".
+
+clone-prefix
+ Space-separated list of common prefixes which, when combined with a
+ repository url, generates valid clone urls for the repository. This
+ setting is only used if `repo.clone-url` is unspecified. Default value:
+ none.
+
+css
+ Url which specifies the css document to include in all cgit pages.
+ Default value: "/cgit.css".
+
+enable-index-links
+ Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit generate extra links for
+ each repo in the repository index (specifically, to the "summary",
+ "commit" and "tree" pages). Default value: "0".
+
+enable-log-filecount
+ Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit print the number of
+ modified files for each commit on the repository log page. Default
+ value: "0".
+
+enable-log-linecount
+ Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit print the number of added
+ and removed lines for each commit on the repository log page. Default
+ value: "0".
+
+favicon
+ Url used as link to a shortcut icon for cgit. If specified, it is
+ suggested to use the value "/favicon.ico" since certain browsers will
+ ignore other values. Default value: none.
+
+footer
+ The content of the file specified with this option will be included
+ verbatim at the bottom of all pages (i.e. it replaces the standard
+ "generated by..." message. Default value: none.
+
+include
+ Name of a configfile to include before the rest of the current config-
+ file is parsed. Default value: none.
+
+index-header
+ The content of the file specified with this option will be included
+ verbatim above the repository index. This setting is deprecated, and
+ will not be supported by cgit-1.0 (use root-readme instead). Default
+ value: none.
+
+index-info
+ The content of the file specified with this option will be included
+ verbatim below the heading on the repository index page. This setting
+ is deprecated, and will not be supported by cgit-1.0 (use root-desc
+ instead). Default value: none.
+
+local-time
+ Flag which, if set to "1", makes cgit print commit and tag times in the
+ servers timezone. Default value: "0".
+
+logo
+ Url which specifies the source of an image which will be used as a logo
+ on all cgit pages.
+
+logo-link
+ Url loaded when clicking on the cgit logo image. If unspecified the
+ calculated url of the repository index page will be used. Default
+ value: none.
+
+max-commit-count
+ Specifies the number of entries to list per page in "log" view. Default
+ value: "50".
+
+max-message-length
+ Specifies the maximum number of commit message characters to display in
+ "log" view. Default value: "80".
+
+max-repo-count
+ Specifies the number of entries to list per page on the repository
+ index page. Default value: "50".
+
+max-repodesc-length
+ Specifies the maximum number of repo description characters to display
+ on the repository index page. Default value: "80".
+
+module-link
+ Text which will be used as the formatstring for a hyperlink when a
+ submodule is printed in a directory listing. The arguments for the
+ formatstring are the path and SHA1 of the submodule commit. Default
+ value: "./?repo=%s&page=commit&id=%s"
+
+nocache
+ If set to the value "1" caching will be disabled. This settings is
+ deprecated, and will not be honored starting with cgit-1.0. Default
+ value: "0".
+
+renamelimit
+ Maximum number of files to consider when detecting renames. The value
+ "-1" uses the compiletime value in git (for further info, look at
+ `man git-diff`). Default value: "-1".
+
+repo.group
+ A value for the current repository group, which all repositories
+ specified after this setting will inherit. Default value: none.
+
+robots
+ Text used as content for the "robots" meta-tag. Default value:
+ "index, nofollow".
+
+root-desc
+ Text printed below the heading on the repository index page. Default
+ value: "a fast webinterface for the git dscm".

+ value: none.
+
+root-title

+ "tar.bz2" bzip-compressed tar-file
+ "zip" zip-file
+ Default value: none.
+
+summary-branches

+
+summary-tags
+ Specifies the number of tags to display in the repository "summary"
+ view. Default value: "10".
+
+virtual-root
+ Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It
+ will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
+ '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
+ value: none.
+ NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
+ same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.
+
+REPOSITORY SETTINGS
+-------------------
+repo.clone-url
+ A list of space-separated urls which can be used to clone this repo.
+ Default value: none.
+
+repo.defbranch

+ exists in the repository, the first branch name (when sorted) is used
+ as default instead. Default value: "master".

+repo.desc
+ The value to show as repository description. Default value: none.
+
+repo.enable-log-filecount
+ A flag which can be used to disable the global setting
+ `enable-log-filecount'. Default value: none.

+
+repo.snapshots
+ A mask of allowed snapshot-formats for this repo, restricted by the
+ "snapshots" global setting. Default value: <snapshots>.

+BUGS
+----
+Comments currently cannot appear on the same line as a setting; the comment
+will be included as part of the value. E.g. this line:
+
+ robots=index # allow indexing
+
+will generate the following html element:
+
+ <meta name='robots' content='index # allow indexing'/>
