Its features include: + +* Viewing multiple Git repositories with common root. +* Browsing every revision of the repository. +* Viewing the contents of files in the repository at any revision. +* Viewing the revision log of branches, history of files and directories, + see what was changed when, by who. +* Viewing the blame/annotation details of any file (if enabled). +* Generating RSS and Atom feeds of commits, for any branch. + The feeds are auto-discoverable in modern web browsers. +* Viewing everything that was changed in a revision, and step through + revisions one at a time, viewing the history of the repository. +* Finding commits which commit messages matches given search term. + +See http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/tree/HEAD:/gitweb/[] for gitweb source code, +browsed using gitweb itself. + + +CONFIGURATION +------------- +Various aspects of gitweb's behavior can be controlled through the configuration +file `gitweb_config.perl` or `/etc/gitweb.conf`. See the linkgit:gitweb.conf[5] +for details. + +Repositories +~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Gitweb can show information from one or more Git repositories. These +repositories have to be all on local filesystem, and have to share common +repository root, i.e. be all under a single parent repository (but see also +"Advanced web server setup" section, "Webserver configuration with multiple +projects' root" subsection). + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +our $projectroot = '/path/to/parent/directory'; +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The default value for `$projectroot` is `/pub/git`. You can change it during +building gitweb via `GITWEB_PROJECTROOT` build configuration variable. + +By default all Git repositories under `$projectroot` are visible and available +to gitweb. The list of projects is generated by default by scanning the +`$projectroot` directory for Git repositories (for object databases to be +more exact; gitweb is not interested in a working area, and is best suited +to showing "bare" repositories). + +The name of the repository in gitweb is the path to its `$GIT_DIR` (its object +database) relative to `$projectroot`. Therefore the repository $repo can be +found at "$projectroot/$repo". + + +Projects list file format +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Instead of having gitweb find repositories by scanning filesystem +starting from $projectroot, you can provide a pre-generated list of +visible projects by setting `$projects_list` to point to a plain text +file with a list of projects (with some additional info). + +This file uses the following format: + +* One record (for project / repository) per line; does not support line +continuation (newline escaping). + +* Leading and trailing whitespace are ignored. + +* Whitespace separated fields; any run of whitespace can be used as field +separator (rules for Perl's "`split(" ", $line)`"). + +* Fields use modified URI encoding, defined in RFC 3986, section 2.1 +(Percent-Encoding), or rather "Query string encoding" (see +https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string#URL_encoding[]), the difference +being that SP (" ") can be encoded as "{plus}" (and therefore "{plus}" has to be +also percent-encoded). ++ +Reserved characters are: "%" (used for encoding), "{plus}" (can be used to +encode SPACE), all whitespace characters as defined in Perl, including SP, +TAB and LF, (used to separate fields in a record). + +* Currently recognized fields are: +<repository path>:: + path to repository GIT_DIR, relative to `$projectroot` +<repository owner>:: + displayed as repository owner, preferably full name, or email, + or both + +You can generate the projects list index file using the project_index action +(the 'TXT' link on projects list page) directly from gitweb; see also +"Generating projects list using gitweb" section below. + +Example contents: +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +foo.git Joe+R+Hacker+<joe@example.com> +foo/bar.git O+W+Ner+<owner@example.org> +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + +By default this file controls only which projects are *visible* on projects +list page (note that entries that do not point to correctly recognized Git +repositories won't be displayed by gitweb). Even if a project is not +visible on projects list page, you can view it nevertheless by hand-crafting +a gitweb URL. By setting `$strict_export` configuration variable (see +linkgit:gitweb.conf[5]) to true value you can allow viewing only of +repositories also shown on the overview page (i.e. only projects explicitly +listed in projects list file will be accessible). + + +Generating projects list using gitweb +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +We assume that GITWEB_CONFIG has its default Makefile value, namely +'gitweb_config.perl'. Put the following in 'gitweb_make_index.perl' file: +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +read_config_file("gitweb_config.perl"); +$projects_list = $projectroot; +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Then create the following script to get list of project in the format +suitable for GITWEB_LIST build configuration variable (or +`$projects_list` variable in gitweb config): + +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +#!/bin/sh + +export GITWEB_CONFIG="gitweb_make_index.perl" +export GATEWAY_INTERFACE="CGI/1.1" +export HTTP_ACCEPT="*/*" +export REQUEST_METHOD="GET" +export QUERY_STRING="a=project_index" + +perl -- /var/www/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Run this script and save its output to a file. This file could then be used +as projects list file, which means that you can set `$projects_list` to its +filename. + + +Controlling access to Git repositories +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +By default all Git repositories under `$projectroot` are visible and +available to gitweb. You can however configure how gitweb controls access +to repositories. + +* As described in "Projects list file format" section, you can control which +projects are *visible* by selectively including repositories in projects +list file, and setting `$projects_list` gitweb configuration variable to +point to it. With `$strict_export` set, projects list file can be used to +control which repositories are *available* as well. + +* You can configure gitweb to only list and allow viewing of the explicitly +exported repositories, via `$export_ok` variable in gitweb config file; see +linkgit:gitweb.conf[5] manpage. If it evaluates to true, gitweb shows +repositories only if this file named by `$export_ok` exists in its object +database (if directory has the magic file named `$export_ok`). ++ +For example linkgit:git-daemon[1] by default (unless `--export-all` option +is used) allows pulling only for those repositories that have +'git-daemon-export-ok' file. Adding ++ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- +our $export_ok = "git-daemon-export-ok"; +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ++ +makes gitweb show and allow access only to those repositories that can be +fetched from via `git://` protocol. + +* Finally, it is possible to specify an arbitrary perl subroutine that will +be called for each repository to determine if it can be exported. The +subroutine receives an absolute path to the project (repository) as its only +parameter (i.e. "$projectroot/$project"). ++ +For example, if you use mod_perl to run the script, and have dumb +HTTP protocol authentication configured for your repositories, you +can use the following hook to allow access only if the user is +authorized to read the files: ++ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- +$export_auth_hook = sub { + use Apache2::SubRequest (); + use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(HTTP_OK); + my $path = "$_[0]/HEAD"; + my $r = Apache2::RequestUtil->request; + my $sub = $r->lookup_file($path); + return $sub->filename eq $path + && $sub->status == Apache2::Const::HTTP_OK; +}; +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + +Per-repository gitweb configuration +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +You can configure individual repositories shown in gitweb by creating file +in the `GIT_DIR` of Git repository, or by setting some repo configuration +variable (in `GIT_DIR/config`, see linkgit:git-config[1]). + +You can use the following files in repository: + +README.html:: + A html file (HTML fragment) which is included on the gitweb project + "summary" page inside `<div>` block element. You can use it for longer + description of a project, to provide links (for example to project's + homepage), etc. This is recognized only if XSS prevention is off + (`$prevent_xss` is false, see linkgit:gitweb.conf[5]); a way to include + a README safely when XSS prevention is on may be worked out in the + future. + +description (or `gitweb.description`):: + Short (shortened to `$projects_list_description_width` in the projects + list page, which is 25 characters by default; see + linkgit:gitweb.conf[5]) single line description of a project (of a + repository). Plain text file; HTML will be escaped. By default set to ++ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Unnamed repository; edit this file to name it for gitweb. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ++ +from the template during repository creation, usually installed in +`/usr/share/git-core/templates/`. You can use the `gitweb.description` repo +configuration variable, but the file takes precedence. + +category (or `gitweb.category`):: + Singe line category of a project, used to group projects if + `$projects_list_group_categories` is enabled. By default (file and + configuration variable absent), uncategorized projects are put in the + `$project_list_default_category` category. You can use the + `gitweb.category` repo configuration variable, but the file takes + precedence. ++ +The configuration variables `$projects_list_group_categories` and +`$project_list_default_category` are described in linkgit:gitweb.conf[5] + +cloneurl (or multiple-valued `gitweb.url`):: + File with repository URL (used for clone and fetch), one per line. + Displayed in the project summary page. You can use multiple-valued + `gitweb.url` repository configuration variable for that, but the file + takes precedence. ++ +This is per-repository enhancement / version of global prefix-based +`@git_base_url_list` gitweb configuration variable (see +linkgit:gitweb.conf[5]). + +gitweb.owner:: + You can use the `gitweb.owner` repository configuration variable to set + repository's owner. It is displayed in the project list and summary + page. ++ +If it's not set, filesystem directory's owner is used (via GECOS field, +i.e. real name field from *getpwuid*(3)) if `$projects_list` is unset +(gitweb scans `$projectroot` for repositories); if `$projects_list` +points to file with list of repositories, then project owner defaults to +value from this file for given repository. + +various `gitweb.*` config variables (in config):: + Read description of `%feature` hash for detailed list, and descriptions. + See also "Configuring gitweb features" section in linkgit:gitweb.conf[5] + + +ACTIONS, AND URLS +----------------- +Gitweb can use path_info (component) based URLs, or it can pass all necessary +information via query parameters. The typical gitweb URLs are broken down in to +five components: + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +.../gitweb.cgi/<repo>/<action>/<revision>:/<path>?<arguments> +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + +repo:: + The repository the action will be performed on. ++ +All actions except for those that list all available projects, +in whatever form, require this parameter. + +action:: + The action that will be run. Defaults to 'projects_list' if repo + is not set, and to 'summary' otherwise. + +revision:: + Revision shown. Defaults to HEAD. + +path:: + The path within the <repository> that the action is performed on, + for those actions that require it. + +arguments:: + Any arguments that control the behaviour of the action. + +Some actions require or allow to specify two revisions, and sometimes even two +pathnames. In most general form such path_info (component) based gitweb URL +looks like this: + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +.../gitweb.cgi/<repo>/<action>/<revision_from>:/<path_from>..<revision_to>:/<path_to>?<arguments> +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + +Each action is implemented as a subroutine, and must be present in %actions +hash. Some actions are disabled by default, and must be turned on via feature +mechanism. For example to enable 'blame' view add the following to gitweb +configuration file: + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +$feature{'blame'}{'default'} = [1]; +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + + +Actions: +~~~~~~~~ +The standard actions are: + +project_list:: + Lists the available Git repositories. This is the default command if no + repository is specified in the URL. + +summary:: + Displays summary about given repository. This is the default command if + no action is specified in URL, and only repository is specified. + +heads:: +remotes:: + Lists all local or all remote-tracking branches in given repository. ++ +The latter is not available by default, unless configured. + +tags:: + List all tags (lightweight and annotated) in given repository. + +blob:: +tree:: + Shows the files and directories in a given repository path, at given + revision. This is default command if no action is specified in the URL, + and path is given. + +blob_plain:: + Returns the raw data for the file in given repository, at given path and + revision. Links to this action are marked 'raw'. + +blobdiff:: + Shows the difference between two revisions of the same file. + +blame:: +blame_incremental:: + Shows the blame (also called annotation) information for a file. On a + per line basis it shows the revision in which that line was last changed + and the user that committed the change. The incremental version (which + if configured is used automatically when JavaScript is enabled) uses + Ajax to incrementally add blame info to the contents of given file. ++ +This action is disabled by default for performance reasons. + +commit:: +commitdiff:: + Shows information about a specific commit in a repository. The 'commit' + view shows information about commit in more detail, the 'commitdiff' + action shows changeset for given commit. + +patch:: + Returns the commit in plain text mail format, suitable for applying with + linkgit:git-am[1]. + +tag:: + Display specific annotated tag (tag object). + +log:: +shortlog:: + Shows log information (commit message or just commit subject) for a + given branch (starting from given revision). ++ +The 'shortlog' view is more compact; it shows one commit per line. + +history:: + Shows history of the file or directory in a given repository path, + starting from given revision (defaults to HEAD, i.e. default branch). ++ +This view is similar to 'shortlog' view. + +rss:: +atom:: + Generates an RSS (or Atom) feed of changes to repository. + + +WEBSERVER CONFIGURATION +----------------------- +This section explains how to configure some common webservers to run gitweb. In +all cases, `/path/to/gitweb` in the examples is the directory you ran installed +gitweb in, and contains `gitweb_config.perl`. + +If you've configured a web server that isn't listed here for gitweb, please send +in the instructions so they can be included in a future release. + +Apache as CGI +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Apache must be configured to support CGI scripts in the directory in +which gitweb is installed. Let's assume that it is `/var/www/cgi-bin` +directory. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/" + +<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin"> + Options Indexes FollowSymlinks ExecCGI + AllowOverride None + Order allow,deny + Allow from all +</Directory> +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + +With that configuration the full path to browse repositories would be: + + http://server/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi + +Apache with mod_perl, via ModPerl::Registry +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +You can use mod_perl with gitweb. You must install Apache::Registry +(for mod_perl 1.x) or ModPerl::Registry (for mod_perl 2.x) to enable +this support. + +Assuming that gitweb is installed to `/var/www/perl`, the following +Apache configuration (for mod_perl 2.x) is suitable. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +Alias /perl "/var/www/perl" + +<Directory "/var/www/perl"> + SetHandler perl-script + PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry + PerlOptions +ParseHeaders + Options Indexes FollowSymlinks +ExecCGI + AllowOverride None + Order allow,deny + Allow from all +</Directory> +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + +With that configuration the full path to browse repositories would be: + + http://server/perl/gitweb.cgi + +Apache with FastCGI +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Gitweb works with Apache and FastCGI. First you need to rename, copy +or symlink gitweb.cgi to gitweb.fcgi. Let's assume that gitweb is +installed in `/usr/share/gitweb` directory. The following Apache +configuration is suitable (UNTESTED!) + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +FastCgiServer /usr/share/gitweb/gitweb.cgi +ScriptAlias /gitweb /usr/share/gitweb/gitweb.cgi + +Alias /gitweb/static /usr/share/gitweb/static +<Directory /usr/share/gitweb/static> + SetHandler default-handler +</Directory> +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + +With that configuration the full path to browse repositories would be: + + http://server/gitweb + + +ADVANCED WEB SERVER SETUP +------------------------- +All of those examples use request rewriting, and need `mod_rewrite` +(or equivalent; examples below are written for Apache). + +Single URL for gitweb and for fetching +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +If you want to have one URL for both gitweb and your `http://` +repositories, you can configure Apache like this: + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +<VirtualHost *:80> + ServerName git.example.org + DocumentRoot /pub/git + SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf + + # turning on mod rewrite + RewriteEngine on + + # make the front page an internal rewrite to the gitweb script + RewriteRule ^/$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi + + # make access for "dumb clients" work + RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(HEAD|info|objects|refs)).*)?$ \ + /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi%{REQUEST_URI} [L,PT] +</VirtualHost> +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The above configuration expects your public repositories to live under +`/pub/git` and will serve them as `http://git.domain.org/dir-under-pub-git`, +both as clonable Git URL and as browseable gitweb interface. If you then +start your linkgit:git-daemon[1] with `--base-path=/pub/git --export-all` +then you can even use the `git://` URL with exactly the same path. + +Setting the environment variable `GITWEB_CONFIG` will tell gitweb to use the +named file (i.e. in this example `/etc/gitweb.conf`) as a configuration for +gitweb. You don't really need it in above example; it is required only if +your configuration file is in different place than built-in (during +compiling gitweb) 'gitweb_config.perl' or `/etc/gitweb.conf`. See +linkgit:gitweb.conf[5] for details, especially information about precedence +rules. + +If you use the rewrite rules from the example you *might* also need +something like the following in your gitweb configuration file +(`/etc/gitweb.conf` following example): +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +@stylesheets = ("/some/absolute/path/gitweb.css"); +$my_uri = "/"; +$home_link = "/"; +$per_request_config = 1; +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Nowadays though gitweb should create HTML base tag when needed (to set base +URI for relative links), so it should work automatically. + + +Webserver configuration with multiple projects' root +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +If you want to use gitweb with several project roots you can edit your +Apache virtual host and gitweb configuration files in the following way. + +The virtual host configuration (in Apache configuration file) should look +like this: +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- +<VirtualHost *:80> + ServerName git.example.org + DocumentRoot /pub/git + SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf + + # turning on mod rewrite + RewriteEngine on + + # make the front page an internal rewrite to the gitweb script + RewriteRule ^/$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi [QSA,L,PT] + + # look for a public_git folder in unix users' home + # http://git.example.org/~<user>/ + RewriteRule ^/\~([^\/]+)(/|/gitweb.cgi)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi \ + [QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/home/$1/public_git/,L,PT] + + # http://git.example.org/+<user>/ + #RewriteRule ^/\+([^\/]+)(/|/gitweb.cgi)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi \ + [QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/home/$1/public_git/,L,PT] + + # http://git.example.org/user/<user>/ + #RewriteRule ^/user/([^\/]+)/(gitweb.cgi)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi \ + [QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/home/$1/public_git/,L,PT] + + # defined list of project roots + RewriteRule ^/scm(/|/gitweb.cgi)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi \ + [QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/pub/scm/,L,PT] + RewriteRule ^/var(/|/gitweb.cgi)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi \ + [QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/var/git/,L,PT] + + # make access for "dumb clients" work + RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(HEAD|info|objects|refs)).*)?$ \ + /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi%{REQUEST_URI} [L,PT] +</VirtualHost> +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Here actual project root is passed to gitweb via `GITWEB_PROJECT_ROOT` +environment variable from a web server, so you need to put the following +line in gitweb configuration file (`/etc/gitweb.conf` in above example): +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- +$projectroot = $ENV{'GITWEB_PROJECTROOT'} || "/pub/git"; +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- +*Note* that this requires to be set for each request, so either +`$per_request_config` must be false, or the above must be put in code +referenced by `$per_request_config`; + +These configurations enable two things. First, each unix user (`<user>`) of +the server will be able to browse through gitweb Git repositories found in +`~/public_git/` with the following url: + + http://git.example.org/~<user>/ + +If you do not want this feature on your server just remove the second +rewrite rule. + +If you already use `mod_userdir` in your virtual host or you don't want to +use the \'~' as first character, just comment or remove the second rewrite +rule, and uncomment one of the following according to what you want. + +Second, repositories found in `/pub/scm/` and `/var/git/` will be accessible +through `http://git.example.org/scm/` and `http://git.example.org/var/`. +You can add as many project roots as you want by adding rewrite rules like +the third and the fourth. + + +PATH_INFO usage +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +If you enable PATH_INFO usage in gitweb by putting +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +$feature{'pathinfo'}{'default'} = [1]; +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +in your gitweb configuration file, it is possible to set up your server so +that it consumes and produces URLs in the form + + http://git.example.com/project.git/shortlog/sometag + +i.e. without 'gitweb.cgi' part, by using a configuration such as the +following. This configuration assumes that `/var/www/gitweb` is the +DocumentRoot of your webserver, contains the gitweb.cgi script and +complementary static files (stylesheet, favicon, JavaScript): + +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +<VirtualHost *:80> + ServerAlias git.example.com + + DocumentRoot /var/www/gitweb + + <Directory /var/www/gitweb> + Options ExecCGI + AddHandler cgi-script cgi + + DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi + + RewriteEngine On + RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f + RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d + RewriteRule ^.* /gitweb.cgi/$0 [L,PT] + </Directory> +</VirtualHost> +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The rewrite rule guarantees that existing static files will be properly +served, whereas any other URL will be passed to gitweb as PATH_INFO +parameter. + +*Notice* that in this case you don't need special settings for +`@stylesheets`, `$my_uri` and `$home_link`, but you lose "dumb client" +access to your project .git dirs (described in "Single URL for gitweb and +for fetching" section). A possible workaround for the latter is the +following: in your project root dir (e.g. `/pub/git`) have the projects +named *without* a .git extension (e.g. `/pub/git/project` instead of +`/pub/git/project.git`) and configure Apache as follows: +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +<VirtualHost *:80> + ServerAlias git.example.com + + DocumentRoot /var/www/gitweb + + AliasMatch ^(/.*?)(\.git)(/.*)?$ /pub/git$1$3 + <Directory /var/www/gitweb> + Options ExecCGI + AddHandler cgi-script cgi + + DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi + + RewriteEngine On + RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f + RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d + RewriteRule ^.* /gitweb.cgi/$0 [L,PT] + </Directory> +</VirtualHost> +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The additional AliasMatch makes it so that + + http://git.example.com/project.git + +will give raw access to the project's Git dir (so that the project can be +cloned), while + + http://git.example.com/project + +will provide human-friendly gitweb access. + +This solution is not 100% bulletproof, in the sense that if some project has +a named ref (branch, tag) starting with `git/`, then paths such as + + http://git.example.com/project/command/abranch..git/abranch + +will fail with a 404 error. + + +BUGS +---- +Please report any bugs or feature requests to git@vger.kernel.org, +putting "gitweb" in the subject of email. + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkgit:gitweb.conf[5], linkgit:git-instaweb[1] + +`gitweb/README`, `gitweb/INSTALL` + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
