Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make gitsrc=<path>
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
$ su
|
|
|
|
|
$ make prefix=<path> install
|
|
|
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default value for gitsrc is "../git", and this directory should contain the
|
|
|
|
|
git sources.
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default value for prefix is "/var/www/htdocs/cgit". This directory will
|
|
|
|
|
contain "cgit.cgi" and "cgit.css" after 'make install'.
|

|
|
|
|
|
$ ./submodules.sh -u

After installation, httpd.conf probably must be updated with a Directory-
|
|
|
|
|
section for cgit, possibly something like this:

before running "make".
