89de6a33 58=head1 NAME
59
775e96e0 60Gitalist - A modern git web viewer
89de6a33 61
62=head1 SYNOPSIS
63
3a7cd273 64 perl script/gitalist_server.pl --repo_dir /home/me/code/git
89de6a33 65
b6d010e1 66=head1 INSTALL
67
68As Gitalist follows the usual Perl module format the usual approach
8004a936 69for installation should work, e.g.:
b6d010e1 70
3a7cd273 71 perl Makefile.PL
72 make
73 make test
74 make install
b6d010e1 75
63f34424 76or
77
3a7cd273 78 cpan -i Gitalist
63f34424 79
8004a936 80You can also L<check Gitalist out from its git repository|/"GETTING GITALIST">
81and run it, in this case you'll additionally need the author modules,
82but no configuration will be needed as it will default to looking
63f34424 83for repositories the directory above the checkout.
b6d010e1 84
89de6a33 85=head1 DESCRIPTION
86
8004a936 87Gitalist is a web frontend for git repositories based on
88L<gitweb.cgi|https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gitweb> and backed by
89L<Catalyst>.
b6d010e1 90
91=head2 History
92
8004a936 93This project started off as an attempt to port I<gitweb.cgi> to a
b6d010e1 94Catalyst app in a piecemeal fashion. As it turns out, thanks largely
8004a936 95to Florian Ragwitz's earlier effort, it was easier to use I<gitweb.cgi>
b6d010e1 96as a template for building a new Catalyst application.

69175e49 98=head1 GETTING GITALIST
99
100You can install Gitalist from CPAN in the usual way:
101
102 cpan -i Gitalist
103
104Alternatively, you can get Gitalist using git.
105
106The canonical repository for the master branch is:
107
1d46f550 108 git://git.shadowcat.co.uk/catagits/Gitalist.git
69175e49 109
8004a936 110Gitalist is also mirrored to GitHub at L<https://github.com/broquaint/Gitalist>,
111and a number of people have active forks
69175e49 112with branches and/or new features in the master branch.
113
ccb79ac8 114=head1 BOOTSTRAPPING
115
116As of C<0.002001> Gitalist can now be bootstrapped to run out of its
117own directory by installing its prerequisites locally with the help of
118L<local::lib>. So instead of installing the prerequisites to the
119system path with CPAN they are installed under the Gitalist directory.
120
8004a936 121To do this clone Gitalist from the L<Shadowcat repository mentioned
122above|/"GETTING GITALIST"> or grab a snapshot from broquaint's GitHub repository:
ccb79ac8 123
8004a936 124 https://github.com/broquaint/Gitalist/downloads
ccb79ac8 125
126With the source acquired and unpacked run the following from within the
127Gitalist directory:
128
e2c6e7c1 129 perl script/bootstrap.pl
ccb79ac8 130
131This will install the necessary modules for the build process which in
132turn installs the prerequisites locally.
133
8004a936 134B<NB:> The relevant bootstrap scripts aren't available in the CPAN dist
e2c6e7c1 135as the bootstrap scripts should not be installed.
136
69175e49 137=head1 INITIAL CONFIGURATION
138
139Gitalist is configured using L<Catalyst::Plugin::Configloader>. The supplied sample
140configuration is in L<Config::General> format, however it is possible to configure
141Gitalist using other config file formats (such as YAML) if you prefer.
142
143=head2 WHEN CHECKING GITALIST OUT OF GIT
144
145Gitalist from git includes a minimal C<gitalist_local.conf>, which sets the repository
146directory to one directory higher than the Gitalist repository.
147
148This means that if you check Gitalist out next to your other git checkouts, then starting
149the demo server needs no parameters at all:
150
3a7cd273 151 Gitalist [master]$ perl script/gitalist_server.pl
69175e49 152 You can connect to your server at http://localhost:3000
153
154=head2 FOR CPAN INSTALLS
63f34424 155
156Gitalist can be supplied with a config file by setting the C<< GITALIST_CONFIG >>
157environment variable to point to a configuration file.
158
69175e49 159If you install Gitalist from CPAN, a default configuration is installed along with gitalist,
160which is complete except for a repository directory. You can get a copy of this configuration
161by running:
63f34424 162
163 cp `perl -Ilib -MGitalist -e'print Gitalist->path_to("gitalist.conf")'` gitalist.conf
164
8004a936 165You can then edit this configuration, adding a C<repo_dir> path and customising
166other settings as desired.
69175e49 167
168You can then start the Gitalist demo server by setting C<< GITALIST_CONFIG >>. For example:
169
170 GITALIST_CONFIG=/usr/local/etc/gitalist.conf gitalist_server.pl
63f34424 171
172Alternatively, if you only want to set a repository directory and are otherwise happy with
1d46f550 173the default configuration, then you can set the C<< GITALIST_REPO_DIR >> environment
3d0e045e 174variable, or pass the C<< --repo_dir >> flag to any of the scripts.
63f34424 175
1d46f550 176 GITALIST_REPO_DIR=/home/myuser/code/git gitalist_server.pl
3d0e045e 177 gitalist_server.pl --repo_dir home/myuser/code/git
69175e49 178
1d46f550 179The C<< GITALIST_REPO_DIR >> environment variable will override the repository directory set
3d0e045e 180in configuration, and will itself be overridden by he C<< --repo_dir >> flag.
63f34424 181
69175e49 182=head1 RUNNING
183
184Once you have followed the instructions above to install and configure Gitalist, you may want
185to run it in a more production facing environment than using the single threaded developement
186server.
187
188The recommended deployment method for Gitalist is FastCGI, although Gitalist can also be run
8004a936 189under L<mod_perl|https://perl.apache.org/> or as pure Perl with L<Catalyst::Engine::PreFork>.
69175e49 190
191Assuming that you have installed Gitalist's dependencies into a L<local::lib>, and you
192are running from a git checkout, adding a trivial FCGI script as C<script/gitalist.fcgi>
193(this file is specifically in C<.gitignore> so you can have your own copy):
194
195 #!/bin/sh
69175e49 196 exec /home/t0m/public_html/Gitalist/script/gitalist_fastcgi.pl
197
198This example can be seen live here:
199
f9d6e4f1 200 http://example.gitalist.com
8004a936 201
5111a8ab 202=head1 CONFIGURATION
203
204The Gitalist config is loaded with L<Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader>
205and the available config options are:
206
207=head2 Model::CollectionOfRepos
208
209=over
210
211=item git
212
213Path to the C<git> binary.
214
215=item repo_dir
216
217A directory containing the directories to show.
218
219If no repositories are found in this directory then Gitalist will
220search recursively in that directory for repositories.
221
222=item search_recursively
223
224A boolean indicating whether to always search recursively for
225repositories within C<repo_dir>.
226
227=item whitelist
228
229Path a file containing a list of repositories that can be shown. Each
230line in the file will represent the name of a repo to show e.g
231
232 Gitalist
233 some-bare-repo.git
234
235This is compatible with C<gitweb>'s C<projects.list>.
236
237=item export_ok
238
239If provided every must contain a file of the same name to be
240visible. This is similar to C<gitweb>'s functionality.
241
242=back
243
244=head2 paging
245
246=over
247
248=item log
249
250The number of commits to show in the
251
252=back
253
321b3fbf 254=head2 FASTCGI
8004a936 255
256Running Gitalist in FastCGI mode requires a webserver with FastCGI
257support (such as apache with L<mod_fcgi|http://www.fastcgi.com/drupal/node/3>
258or L<mod_fcgid|https://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/>). Below is a sample
259configuration using Apache2 with mod_fcgid in a dynamic configuration
260(as opposed to static or standalone mode). More information on these modes and
261their configuration can be found at L<Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI/"Standalone server mode">.
262
263In Apache's F<mime.conf>, add C<AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi>
264(or C<AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi> for mod_fcgi).
265
266And a quick VirtualHost configuration:
267
268 <VirtualHost *:80>
269 ServerName gitalist.yourdomain.com
270 DocumentRoot /path/to/gitalist.fcgi
271 <Directory "/path/to/gitalist.fcgi">
57f9f654 272 AllowOverride all
273 Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
274 Order allow,deny
275 Allow from all
8004a936 276 </Directory>
321b3fbf 277
278 # Tell Apache this is a FastCGI application
279 <Files gitalist.fcgi>
57f9f654 280 #change the below to fastcgi-script if using mod_fcgi
321b3fbf 281 SetHandler fcgid-script
282 </Files>
8004a936 283 </VirtualHost>
284
285Now to access your Gitalist instance, you'll go to
286C<gitalist.yourdomain.com/gitalist.fcgi/> (B<do not forget that trailing> C</>).
287If you'd like a different URL, of course, you'll likely want to use
288L<mod_rewrite|https://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html> or equivalent.
289
290If you find the need to do some troubleshooting, you can call
291C<http://url_to_gitalist.fcgi?dump_info=1> and/or add export C<GITALIST_DEBUG=1>
292to the top of your F<gitalist.fcgi> file (just below the shebang line).
293
294Also, note that Apache will refuse C<%2F> in Gitalist URLs
295unless configured otherwise. Make sure C<AllowEncodedSlashes On>
296is in your F<httpd.conf> file in order for this to run smoothly.
