NAME
Gitalist - A modern git web viewer
SYNOPSIS
perl script/gitalist_server.pl --repo_dir /home/me/code/git
INSTALL
As Gitalist follows the usual Perl module format the usual approach for
installation should work, e.g.:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
or
cpan -i Gitalist
You can also check Gitalist out from its git repository and run it, in
this case you'll additionally need the author modules, but no
configuration will be needed as it will default to looking for
repositories the directory above the checkout.
DESCRIPTION
Gitalist is a web frontend for git repositories based on gitweb.cgi
<https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gitweb> and backed by Catalyst.
History
This project started off as an attempt to port *gitweb.cgi* to a
Catalyst app in a piecemeal fashion. As it turns out, thanks largely to
Florian Ragwitz's earlier effort, it was easier to use *gitweb.cgi* as a
template for building a new Catalyst application.
GETTING GITALIST
You can install Gitalist from CPAN in the usual way:
cpan -i Gitalist
Alternatively, you can get Gitalist using git.
The canonical repository for the master branch is:
git://git.shadowcat.co.uk/catagits/Gitalist.git
Gitalist is also mirrored to GitHub at
<https://github.com/broquaint/Gitalist>, and a number of people have
active forks with branches and/or new features in the master branch.
BOOTSTRAPPING
As of 0.002001 Gitalist can now be bootstrapped to run out of its own
directory by installing its prerequisites locally with the help of
local::lib. So instead of installing the prerequisites to the system
path with CPAN they are installed under the Gitalist directory.
To do this clone Gitalist from the Shadowcat repository mentioned above
or grab a snapshot from broquaint's GitHub repository:
https://github.com/broquaint/Gitalist/downloads
With the source acquired and unpacked run the following from within the
Gitalist directory:
perl script/bootstrap.pl
This will install the necessary modules for the build process which in
turn installs the prerequisites locally.
NB: The relevant bootstrap scripts aren't available in the CPAN dist as
the bootstrap scripts should not be installed.
INITIAL CONFIGURATION
Gitalist is configured using Catalyst::Plugin::Configloader. The
supplied sample configuration is in Config::General format, however it
is possible to configure Gitalist using other config file formats (such
as YAML) if you prefer.
WHEN CHECKING GITALIST OUT OF GIT
Gitalist from git includes a minimal "gitalist_local.conf", which sets
the repository directory to one directory higher than the Gitalist
repository.
This means that if you check Gitalist out next to your other git
checkouts, then starting the demo server needs no parameters at all:
Gitalist [master]$ perl script/gitalist_server.pl
You can connect to your server at http://localhost:3000
FOR CPAN INSTALLS
Gitalist can be supplied with a config file by setting the
"GITALIST_CONFIG" environment variable to point to a configuration file.
If you install Gitalist from CPAN, 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
You can then edit this configuration, adding a "repo_dir" path and
customising other settings as desired.
You can then start the Gitalist demo server by setting
"GITALIST_CONFIG". For example:
GITALIST_CONFIG=/usr/local/etc/gitalist.conf gitalist_server.pl
Alternatively, if you only want to set a repository directory and are
otherwise happy with the default configuration, then you can set the
"GITALIST_REPO_DIR" environment variable, or pass the "--repo_dir" flag
to any of the scripts.
GITALIST_REPO_DIR=/home/myuser/code/git gitalist_server.pl
gitalist_server.pl --repo_dir home/myuser/code/git
The "GITALIST_REPO_DIR" environment variable will override the
repository directory set in configuration, and will itself be overridden
by he "--repo_dir" flag.
RUNNING
Once you have followed the instructions above to install and configure
Gitalist, you may want to run it in a more production facing environment
than using the single threaded developement server.
The recommended deployment method for Gitalist is FastCGI, although
Gitalist can also be run under mod_perl <https://perl.apache.org/> or as
pure Perl with Catalyst::Engine::PreFork.
Assuming that you have installed Gitalist's dependencies into a
local::lib, and you are running from a git checkout, adding a trivial
FCGI script as "script/gitalist.fcgi" (this file is specifically in
".gitignore" so you can have your own copy):
#!/bin/sh
exec /home/t0m/public_html/Gitalist/script/gitalist_fastcgi.pl
This example can be seen live here:
http://example.gitalist.com
Plack
If you would like to run Gitalist under Plack then one need only make
use of plackup and the ".psgi" found under "scripts/":
plackup script/gitalist_app.psgi
CONFIGURATION
The Gitalist config is loaded with Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader and
the available config options are:
no_gravatars
If true don't display gravatars. May be desirable if you are worried
about leaking repo names via the browser referer headers.
Model::CollectionOfRepos
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.
class
If you want a different way of surfacing repositories you can use
your own model (i.e something that composes
Gitalist::Git::CollectionOfRepositories) and specify the class name
with this config option.
args
Any additional arguments to be passed into the Model constructor,
only of use when used in conjunction with "class" (see above).
paging
log The number of commits to show in the summary, shortlog and longlog
views.
FASTCGI
Running Gitalist in FastCGI mode requires a webserver with FastCGI
support (such as apache with mod_fcgi
<http://www.fastcgi.com/drupal/node/3> or mod_fcgid
<https://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/>). Below is a sample configuration
using Apache2 with mod_fcgid in a dynamic configuration (as opposed to
static or standalone mode). More information on these modes and their
configuration can be found at "Standalone server mode" in
Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI.
In Apache's mime.conf, add "AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi" (or
"AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi" for mod_fcgi).
And a quick VirtualHost configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName gitalist.yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/gitalist.fcgi
<Directory "/path/to/gitalist.fcgi">
AllowOverride all
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
# Tell Apache this is a FastCGI application
<Files gitalist.fcgi>
#change the below to fastcgi-script if using mod_fcgi
SetHandler fcgid-script
</Files>
</VirtualHost>
Now to access your Gitalist instance, you'll go to
"gitalist.yourdomain.com/gitalist.fcgi/" (do not forget that trailing
"/"). If you'd like a different URL, of course, you'll likely want to
use mod_rewrite <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html> or
equivalent.
If you find the need to do some troubleshooting, you can call
"http://url_to_gitalist.fcgi?dump_info=1" and/or add export
"GITALIST_DEBUG=1" to the top of your gitalist.fcgi file (just below the
shebang line).
Apache config
Apache will refuse %2F in Gitalist URLs unless configured otherwise.
Make sure "AllowEncodedSlashes On" is in your httpd.conf file in order
for this to run smoothly.
To have the static content served statically by Apache, instead of
Gitalist, then add something like following line to your httpd.conf:
Alias /static /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Gitalist/root/static
CONTRIBUTING
Patches are welcome, please feel free to fork on github and send pull
requests, send patches from git format-patch to the bug tracker, or host
