Gitalist is also mirrored to github, and a number of people have active
forks with branches and/or new features in the master branch.
+BOOTSTRAPPING
+ As of 0.002001 Gitalist can now be bootstrapped to run out of its own
+ directory by installing its prerequisites locally with the help of
+ local::lib. So instead of installing the prerequisites to the system
+ path with CPAN they are installed under the Gitalist directory.
+
+ To do this clone Gitalist from the Shadowcat repository mentioned above
+ or grab a download from CPAN or broquaint's github repository:
+
+ http://github.com/broquaint/Gitalist/downloads
+
+ With the source acquired and unpacked run the following from within the
+ Gitalist directory:
+
+ perl script/bootstrap
+
+ This will install the necessary modules for the build process which in
+ turn installs the prerequisites locally.

INITIAL CONFIGURATION
Gitalist is configured using Catalyst::Plugin::Configloader. The
supplied sample configuration is in Config::General format, however it
cp `perl -Ilib -MGitalist -e'print Gitalist->path_to("gitalist.conf")'` gitalist.conf
- You can then edit this confg, adding a repos_dir path and customising

You can then start the Gitalist demo server by setting
Alternatively, if you only want to set a repository directory and are
otherwise happy with the default configuration, then you can set the
- "GITALIST_REPO_DIR" environment variable, or pass the "--repos_dir" flag

to any of the scripts.
GITALIST_REPO_DIR=/home/myuser/code/git gitalist_server.pl
- gitalist_server.pl --repos_dir home/myuser/code/git
+ gitalist_server.pl --repo_dir home/myuser/code/git
The "GITALIST_REPO_DIR" environment variable will override the
repository directory set in configuration, and will itself be overridden

RUNNING
Once you have followed the instructions above to install and configure
".gitignore" so you can have your own copy):
#!/bin/sh
- export PERL5LIB=/home/t0m/public_html/Gitalist/lib:/home/t0m/perl5/lib/perl5:$PERL5LIB
exec /home/t0m/public_html/Gitalist/script/gitalist_fastcgi.pl
