41 Gitalist - A modern git web viewer
45 script/gitalist_server.pl --repo_dir /home/me/code/git
49 As Gitalist follows the usual Perl module format the usual approach
50 for installation should work e.g.
61 You can also check gitalist out from git and run it, in this case you'll additionally
62 need the author modules, but no configuration will be needed as it will default to looking
63 for repositories the directory above the checkout.
67 Gitalist is a web frontend for git repositories based on gitweb.cgi
68 and backed by Catalyst.
72 This project started off as an attempt to port gitweb.cgi to a
73 Catalyst app in a piecemeal fashion. As it turns out, thanks largely
74 to Florian Ragwitz's earlier effort, it was easier to use gitweb.cgi
75 as a template for building a new Catalyst application.
77 =head1 GETTING GITALIST
79 You can install Gitalist from CPAN in the usual way:
83 Alternatively, you can get Gitalist using git.
85 The canonical repository for the master branch is:
87 it://git.shadowcat.co.uk/catagits/Gitalist.git
89 Gitalist is also mirrored to github, and a number of people have active forks
90 with branches and/or new features in the master branch.
92 =head1 INITIAL CONFIGURATION
94 Gitalist is configured using L<Catalyst::Plugin::Configloader>. The supplied sample
95 configuration is in L<Config::General> format, however it is possible to configure
96 Gitalist using other config file formats (such as YAML) if you prefer.
98 =head2 WHEN CHECKING GITALIST OUT OF GIT
100 Gitalist from git includes a minimal C<gitalist_local.conf>, which sets the repository
101 directory to one directory higher than the Gitalist repository.
103 This means that if you check Gitalist out next to your other git checkouts, then starting
104 the demo server needs no parameters at all:
106 Gitalist [master]$ ./script/gitalist_server.pl
107 You can connect to your server at http://localhost:3000
109 =head2 FOR CPAN INSTALLS
111 Gitalist can be supplied with a config file by setting the C<< GITALIST_CONFIG >>
112 environment variable to point to a configuration file.
114 If you install Gitalist from CPAN, a default configuration is installed along with gitalist,
115 which is complete except for a repository directory. You can get a copy of this configuration
118 cp `perl -Ilib -MGitalist -e'print Gitalist->path_to("gitalist.conf")'` gitalist.conf
120 You can then edit this confg, adding a repos_dir path and customising other settings as desired.
122 You can then start the Gitalist demo server by setting C<< GITALIST_CONFIG >>. For example:
124 GITALIST_CONFIG=/usr/local/etc/gitalist.conf gitalist_server.pl
126 Alternatively, if you only want to set a repository directory and are otherwise happy with
127 the default configuration, then you can set the C<< GITALIST_REPOS_DIR >> environment
128 variable, or pass the C<< --repos_dir >> flag to any of the scripts.
130 GITALIST_REPOS_DIR=/home/myuser/code/git gitalist_server.pl
131 gitalist_server.pl --repos_dir home/myuser/code/git
133 The C<< GITALIST_REPOS_DIR >> environment variable will override the repository directory set
134 in configuration, and will itself be overridden by he C<< --repos_dir >> flag.
138 Once you have followed the instructions above to install and configure Gitalist, you may want
139 to run it in a more production facing environment than using the single threaded developement
142 The recommended deployment method for Gitalist is FastCGI, although Gitalist can also be run
143 under mod_perl or as pure perl with L<Catalyst::Engine::PreFork>.
145 Assuming that you have installed Gitalist's dependencies into a L<local::lib>, and you
146 are running from a git checkout, adding a trivial FCGI script as C<script/gitalist.fcgi>
147 (this file is specifically in C<.gitignore> so you can have your own copy):
150 export PERL5LIB=/home/t0m/public_html/Gitalist/lib:/home/t0m/perl5/lib/perl5:$PERL5LIB
151 exec /home/t0m/public_html/Gitalist/script/gitalist_fastcgi.pl

159 Patches are welcome, please feel free to fork on github and send pull requests, send patches
160 from git format-patch to the bug tracker, or host your own copy of gitalist somewhere and
161 ask us to pull from it.
165 Gitalist has an active irc community in C<#gitalist> on irc.perl.org, please feel free to stop
166 by and ask questions, report bugs or installation issues or generally for a chat about where
167 we plan to go with the project.
