Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Building cgit involves building a proper version of git. How to do this
|
||||
depends on how you obtained the cgit sources:
|
||||
|
||||
a) If you're working in a cloned cgit repository, you first need to
|
||||
initialize and update the git submodule:
|
||||
|
||||
$ git submodule init # register the git submodule in .git/config
|
||||
$ $EDITOR .git/config # if you want to specify a different url for git
|
||||
$ git submodule update # clone/fetch and checkout correct git version
|
||||
|
||||
b) If you're building from a cgit tarball, you can download a proper git
|
||||
version like this:
|
||||
|
||||
$ make get-git
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When either a) or b) has been performed, you can build and install cgit like
|
||||
this:
|
||||
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ su
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
$ sudo make install
|
||||
|
||||
This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit".
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
$ git clone -s <path-to-git-repo> git
|
||||
$ ./submodules.sh -u
|
||||
|
||||
before running "make".
|
||||
This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit". You can
|
||||
configure this location (and a few other things) by providing a "cgit.conf"
|
||||
file (see the Makefile for details).

The mis(sing) features
|

The missing features
|
||||
|
||||
Submodule links in the directory listing page have a fixed format per
|
||||
repository. This should probably be extended to a generic map between
|
||||
submodule path and url.

* Submodule links in the directory listing page have a fixed format per

||||
repository. This should probably be extended to a generic map between
|
||||
submodule path and url.
|
||||
|
||||
* Branch- and tag-lists in the summary page can get very long, they should
|
||||
probably only show something like the ten "latest modified" branches and
|
||||
a similar number of "most recent" tags.
|
||||
|
||||
The end.
|
||||
* There should be a new page for browsing refs/heads and refs/tags, with links
|
||||
from the summary page whenever the branch/tag lists overflow.
|
||||
|
||||
* The log-page should have more/better search options (author, committer,
|
||||
pickaxe, paths) and possibly support arbitrary revision specifiers.
|
||||
|
||||
* A set of test-scripts is required before cgit-1.0 can be released.
