+    The Gitalist config is loaded with Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader and

+
+  Model::CollectionOfRepos
+    git Path to the "git" binary.
+
+    repo_dir
+        A directory containing the directories to show.

+    repos
+        A list of directories containing repositories to show.
+
+    search_recursively
+        A boolean indicating whether to always search recursively for
+        repositories within "repo_dir".
+
+    whitelist
+        Path a file containing a list of repositories that can be shown.
+        Each line in the file will represent the name of a repo to show e.g
+
+          Gitalist
+          some-bare-repo.git
+
+        This is compatible with "gitweb"'s "projects.list".
+
+    export_ok
+        If provided every must contain a file of the same name to be
+        visible. This is similar to "gitweb"'s functionality.
+
+  paging
+    log The number of commits to show in the summary, shortlog and longlog
+        views.
