repositories, formatted as a line-separated list of NAME=VALUE pairs. Blank
lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored.
GLOBAL SETTINGS
---------------
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.
css
Url which specifies the css document to include in all cgit pages.
Default value: "/cgit.css".
enable-index-links
Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit generate extra links for
each repo in the repository index (specifically, to the "summary",
"commit" and "tree" pages). Default value: "0".
enable-log-filecount
Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit print the number of
modified files for each commit on the repository log page. Default
value: "0".
enable-log-linecount
Flag which, when set to "1", will make cgit print the number of added
and removed lines for each commit on the repository log page. Default
value: "0".
favicon

include
Name of a configfile to include before the rest of the current config-
file is parsed. Default value: none.
index-header
The content of the file specified with this option will be included
verbatim above the repository index. This setting is deprecated, and
will not be supported by cgit-1.0 (use root-readme instead). Default
value: none.
index-info
The content of the file specified with this option will be included
verbatim below the heading on the repository index page. This setting
is deprecated, and will not be supported by cgit-1.0 (use root-desc
instead). Default value: none.
local-time
Flag which, if set to "1", makes cgit print commit and tag times in the
servers timezone. Default value: "0".
logo
Url which specifies the source of an image which will be used as a logo
on all cgit pages.
logo-link
Url loaded when clicking on the cgit logo image. If unspecified the
calculated url of the repository index page will be used. Default
value: none.

value: "50".
max-message-length
Specifies the maximum number of commit message characters to display in
"log" view. Default value: "80".

index page. Default value: "50".

on the repository index page. Default value: "80".

Text which will be used as the formatstring for a hyperlink when a
submodule is printed in a directory listing. The arguments for the
formatstring are the path and SHA1 of the submodule commit. Default
value: "./?repo=%s&page=commit&id=%s"
nocache
If set to the value "1" caching will be disabled. This settings is
deprecated, and will not be honored starting with cgit-1.0. Default
value: "0".
renamelimit
Maximum number of files to consider when detecting renames. The value
"-1" uses the compiletime value in git (for further info, look at
`man git-diff`). Default value: "-1".
repo.group
A value for the current repository group, which all repositories
specified after this setting will inherit. Default value: none.
robots
Text used as content for the "robots" meta-tag. Default value:
"index, nofollow".
root-desc
Text printed below the heading on the repository index page. Default
value: "a fast webinterface for the git dscm".

summary-tags
Specifies the number of tags to display in the repository "summary"
view. Default value: "10".
virtual-root
Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It
will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
'/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
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.

repo.clone-url
A list of space-separated urls which can be used to clone this repo.
Default value: none.
repo.defbranch
The name of the default branch for this repository. If no such branch

none.

BUGS
----
Comments currently cannot appear on the same line as a setting; the comment
will be included as part of the value. E.g. this line:
robots=index # allow indexing
will generate the following html element:
<meta name='robots' content='index # allow indexing'/>
