NAME
Gitalist - A modern git web viewer
SYNOPSIS
script/gitalist_server.pl --repo_dir /home/me/code/git
INSTALL
As Gitalist follows the usual Perl module format the usual approach for
installation should work e.g.
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
or
cpan -i Gitalist
You can also check gitalist out from git and run it, in this case you'll
additionally need the author modules, but no configuration will be
needed as it will default to looking for repositories the directory
above the checkout.
DESCRIPTION
Gitalist is a web frontend for git repositories based on gitweb.cgi and
backed by Catalyst.
History
This project started off as an attempt to port gitweb.cgi to a Catalyst
app in a piecemeal fashion. As it turns out, thanks largely to Florian
Ragwitz's earlier effort, it was easier to use gitweb.cgi as a template
for building a new Catalyst application.
CONFIGURATION
Gitalist can be supplied with a config file by setting the
"GITALIST_CONFIG" environment variable to point to a configuration file.
A default configuration is installed along with gitalist, which is
complete except for a repository directory. You can get a copy of this
configuration by running:
cp `perl -Ilib -MGitalist -e'print Gitalist->path_to("gitalist.conf")'` gitalist.conf
adding a repos_dir path and then setting "GITALIST_CONFIG".
Alternatively, if you only want to set a repository directory and are
otherwise happy with the default configuration, then you can set the
"GITALIST_REPOS_DIR" environment variable, or pass the "--repos_dir"
flag to any of the scripts.
The "GITALIST_REPOS_DIR" environment variable will override the
repository directory set in configuration, and will itself be overridden
by he "--repos_dir" flag.
