775e96e0 65Gitalist - A modern git web viewer
89de6a33 66
67=head1 SYNOPSIS
68
63f34424 69 script/gitalist_server.pl --repo_dir /home/me/code/git
89de6a33 70
b6d010e1 71=head1 INSTALL
72
73As Gitalist follows the usual Perl module format the usual approach
63f34424 74for installation should work e.g.
b6d010e1 75
76 perl Makefile.PL
77 make
78 make test
79 make install
80
63f34424 81or
82
83 cpan -i Gitalist
84
85You can also check gitalist out from git and run it, in this case you'll additionally
86need the author modules, but no configuration will be needed as it will default to looking
87for repositories the directory above the checkout.

89de6a33 89=head1 DESCRIPTION
90
b6d010e1 91Gitalist is a web frontend for git repositories based on gitweb.cgi
775e96e0 92and backed by Catalyst.
b6d010e1 93
94=head2 History
95
96This project started off as an attempt to port gitweb.cgi to a
97Catalyst app in a piecemeal fashion. As it turns out, thanks largely
98to Florian Ragwitz's earlier effort, it was easier to use gitweb.cgi
99as a template for building a new Catalyst application.

69175e49 101=head1 GETTING GITALIST
102
103You can install Gitalist from CPAN in the usual way:
104
105 cpan -i Gitalist
106
107Alternatively, you can get Gitalist using git.
108
109The canonical repository for the master branch is:
110
1d46f550 111 git://git.shadowcat.co.uk/catagits/Gitalist.git
69175e49 112
113Gitalist is also mirrored to github, and a number of people have active forks
114with branches and/or new features in the master branch.
115
ccb79ac8 116=head1 BOOTSTRAPPING
117
118As of C<0.002001> Gitalist can now be bootstrapped to run out of its
119own directory by installing its prerequisites locally with the help of
120L<local::lib>. So instead of installing the prerequisites to the
121system path with CPAN they are installed under the Gitalist directory.
122
123To do this clone Gitalist from the Shadowcat repository mentioned
124above or grab a download from CPAN or broquaint's github repository:
125
126 http://github.com/broquaint/Gitalist/downloads
127
128With the source acquired and unpacked run the following from within the
129Gitalist directory:
130
131 perl script/bootstrap
132
133This will install the necessary modules for the build process which in
134turn installs the prerequisites locally.
135
69175e49 136=head1 INITIAL CONFIGURATION
137
138Gitalist is configured using L<Catalyst::Plugin::Configloader>. The supplied sample
139configuration is in L<Config::General> format, however it is possible to configure
140Gitalist using other config file formats (such as YAML) if you prefer.
141
142=head2 WHEN CHECKING GITALIST OUT OF GIT
143
144Gitalist from git includes a minimal C<gitalist_local.conf>, which sets the repository
145directory to one directory higher than the Gitalist repository.
146
147This means that if you check Gitalist out next to your other git checkouts, then starting
148the demo server needs no parameters at all:
149
150 Gitalist [master]$ ./script/gitalist_server.pl
151 You can connect to your server at http://localhost:3000
152
153=head2 FOR CPAN INSTALLS
63f34424 154
155Gitalist can be supplied with a config file by setting the C<< GITALIST_CONFIG >>
156environment variable to point to a configuration file.
157
69175e49 158If you install Gitalist from CPAN, a default configuration is installed along with gitalist,
159which is complete except for a repository directory. You can get a copy of this configuration
160by running:
63f34424 161
162 cp `perl -Ilib -MGitalist -e'print Gitalist->path_to("gitalist.conf")'` gitalist.conf
163
3d0e045e 164You can then edit this confg, adding a repo_dir path and customising other settings as desired.
69175e49 165
166You can then start the Gitalist demo server by setting C<< GITALIST_CONFIG >>. For example:
167
168 GITALIST_CONFIG=/usr/local/etc/gitalist.conf gitalist_server.pl
63f34424 169
170Alternatively, if you only want to set a repository directory and are otherwise happy with
1d46f550 171the default configuration, then you can set the C<< GITALIST_REPO_DIR >> environment
3d0e045e 172variable, or pass the C<< --repo_dir >> flag to any of the scripts.
63f34424 173
1d46f550 174 GITALIST_REPO_DIR=/home/myuser/code/git gitalist_server.pl
3d0e045e 175 gitalist_server.pl --repo_dir home/myuser/code/git
69175e49 176
1d46f550 177The C<< GITALIST_REPO_DIR >> environment variable will override the repository directory set
3d0e045e 178in configuration, and will itself be overridden by he C<< --repo_dir >> flag.
63f34424 179
69175e49 180=head1 RUNNING
181
182Once you have followed the instructions above to install and configure Gitalist, you may want
183to run it in a more production facing environment than using the single threaded developement
184server.
185
186The recommended deployment method for Gitalist is FastCGI, although Gitalist can also be run
187under mod_perl or as pure perl with L<Catalyst::Engine::PreFork>.
188
189Assuming that you have installed Gitalist's dependencies into a L<local::lib>, and you
190are running from a git checkout, adding a trivial FCGI script as C<script/gitalist.fcgi>
191(this file is specifically in C<.gitignore> so you can have your own copy):
192
193 #!/bin/sh
69175e49 194 exec /home/t0m/public_html/Gitalist/script/gitalist_fastcgi.pl

202Patches are welcome, please feel free to fork on github and send pull requests, send patches
203from git format-patch to the bug tracker, or host your own copy of gitalist somewhere and
204ask us to pull from it.
205
206=head1 SUPPORT
207
208Gitalist has an active irc community in C<#gitalist> on irc.perl.org, please feel free to stop
209by and ask questions, report bugs or installation issues or generally for a chat about where
210we plan to go with the project.
