This is most likely due to permission problems: cgit runs under your
|
|
|
|
|
webserver user account and will need read access to your repo (and all
|
|
|
|
|
of the parent directories)

### Why does cgit complain that my repo is "Not a git repository"?

The most common cause of this is permission problems - see the previous
|
|
|
|
|
faq entry for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The second most common cause is that you've set repo.path to point at the
|
|
|
|
|
working-directory of your git repo - it should point at the $GITDIR, i.e.
|
|
|
|
|
the .git directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A less likely cause is that the repo is, infact, not a valid repo. Try
|
|
|
|
|
to run 'git show' in the offending repo to see if git also thinks your
|
|
|
|
|
repo has issues.
