NAME Gitalist - A modern git web viewer SYNOPSIS 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 git 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 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. CONFIGURATION Gitalist can be supplied with a config file by setting the "GITALIST_CONFIG" environment variable to point to a configuration file. 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 adding a repos_dir path and then setting "GITALIST_CONFIG". Alternatively, if you only want to set a repository directory and are otherwise happy with the default configuration, then you can set the "GITALIST_REPOS_DIR" environment variable, or pass the "--repos_dir" flag to any of the scripts. The "GITALIST_REPOS_DIR" environment variable will override the repository directory set in configuration, and will itself be overridden by he "--repos_dir" flag.
