DESCRIPTION
Gitalist is a web frontend for git repositories based on gitweb.cgi and
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.
