 CGITRC(5)
 ========
 
 
 NAME
 ----
 cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
 
 
 SYNOPSIS
 --------
 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.
 
 
+LOCATION
+--------
+The default location of cgitrc, defined at compile time, is /etc/cgitrc. At
+runtime, cgit will consult the environment variable CGIT_CONFIG and, if
+defined, use its value instead.
+
+
 GLOBAL SETTINGS
 ---------------
 about-filter::
         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format the content of
         about pages (both top-level and for each repository). The command will
         get the content of the about-file on its STDIN, and the STDOUT from the
         command will be included verbatim on the about page. Default value:
         none.
 
 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.
 
 commit-filter::
         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format commit messages.
         The command will get the message on its STDIN, and the STDOUT from the
         command will be included verbatim as the commit message, i.e. this can
         be used to implement bugtracker integration. Default value: none.
 
 css::
         Url which specifies the css document to include in all cgit pages.
         Default value: "/cgit.css".
 
 embedded::

         suitable for embedding in other html pages. Default value: none. See
         also: "noheader".
         
 enable-index-links::
         Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit generate extra links for

         "commit" and "tree" pages). Default value: "0".
 
 enable-log-filecount::
         Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit print the number of

         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

         value: none.
 
 index-info::
         The content of the file specified with this option will be included

         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.
