Gitweb is the default web interface provided with git itself and is the basis for other git scripts like cgit, gitosis and others.
gitweb actually supports fcgi natively, so you don't need to wrap it as a cgi script http://repo.or.cz/w/alt-git.git?a=blob_plain;f=gitweb/INSTALL https://sixohthree.com/1402/running-gitweb-in-fastcgi-mode
Contents
Installation
To install gitweb you first have to install git and a webserver. For this example we use apache but you can also use others:
pacman -S git apache
Next you need to link the current gitweb default to your webserver location. In this example I use the default folder locations:
ln -s /usr/share/gitweb /srv/http/gitweb
That's it for the "installation". Next is the configuration.
Configuration
Apache
Add the following to the end of your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<Directory "/srv/http/gitweb"> DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi Allow from all AllowOverride all Order allow,deny Options ExecCGI <Files gitweb.cgi> SetHandler cgi-script </Files> SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/conf.d/gitweb.conf </Directory>
If using a virtualhosts configuration, add this to /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName gitserver DocumentRoot /var/www/gitweb <Directory /var/www/gitweb> Options ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch AllowOverride All order allow,deny Allow from all AddHandler cgi-script cgi DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi </Directory> </VirtualHost>
You could also put the configuration in it's own config file in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/ but that's up to you to decide.
Lighttpd
Add the following to /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:
server.modules += ( "mod_alias", "mod_cgi", "mod_redirect", "mod_setenv" ) setenv.add-environment = ( "GITWEB_CONFIG" => "/etc/conf.d/gitweb.conf" ) url.redirect += ( "^/gitweb$" => "/gitweb/" ) alias.url += ( "/gitweb/" => "/usr/share/gitweb/" ) $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/gitweb/" { cgi.assign = ( ".cgi" => "" ) server.indexfiles = ( "gitweb.cgi" ) }
You may also need to add ".css" => "text/css"
to the mimetype.assign
line for GitWeb to display properly.
Nginx
Consider you've symlinked ln -s /usr/share/gitweb /var/www
, append this location to your nginx configuration:
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
location /gitweb/ { index gitweb.cgi; include fastcgi_params; gzip off; fastcgi_param GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/conf.d/gitweb.conf; if ($uri ~ "/gitweb/gitweb.cgi") { fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.sock; } }
Additionally, we have to install pacman -S fcgiwrap spawn-fcgi
and modify the fcgiwrap service file:
/usr/lib/systemd/system/fcgiwrap.service
[Unit] Description=Simple server for running CGI applications over FastCGI After=syslog.target network.target [Service] Type=forking Restart=on-abort PIDFile=/var/run/fcgiwrap.pid ExecStart=/usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -s /var/run/fcgiwrap.sock -P /var/run/fcgiwrap.pid -u http -g http -- /usr/sbin/fcgiwrap ExecStop=/usr/bin/kill -15 $MAINPID [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
In the end, enable and restart the services:
systemctl enable nginx fcgiwrap systemctl start nginx fcgiwrap
Gitweb config
Next we need to make a gitweb config file. Open (or create if it does not exist) the file /etc/gitweb.conf
and place this in it:
/etc/gitweb.conf
$git_temp = "/tmp"; # The directories where your projects are. Must not end with a slash. $projectroot = "/path/to/your/repositories"; # Base URLs for links displayed in the web interface. our @git_base_url_list = qw(git://<your_server> http://git@<your_server>);
To enable "blame" view (showing the author of each line in a source file), add the following line:
$feature{'blame'}{'default'} = [1];
Now the the configuration is done, please restart your webserver. For apache:
systemctl restart httpd
Or for lighttpd:
systemctl restart lighttpd
Syntax highlighting
To enable syntax highlighting with Gitweb, you have to first install the highlight package from [community]:
pacman -S highlight
When highlight has been installed, simply add this line to your gitweb.conf
:
$feature{'highlight'}{'default'} = [1];
Save the file and highlighting should now be enabled.
Adding repositories
To add a repository go to your repository folder, make your repository like so:
mkdir my_repository.git git init --bare my_repository.git/ cd my_repository.git/ touch git-daemon-export-ok echo "Short project's description" > .git/description
Next open the .git/config
file and add this:
[gitweb] owner = Your Name
This will fill in the "Owner" field in gitweb. It's not required.
I assumed that you want to have this repository as "central" repository storage where you push your commits to so the git-daemon-export-ok and --bare are here to have minimal overhead and to allow the git daemon to be used on it.
That is all for making a repository. You can now see it on your http://localhost/gitweb (assuming everything went fine). You do not need to restart apache for new repositories since the gitweb cgi script simply reads your repository folder.

This howto was mainly based on the awesome howto from howtoforge: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-a-public-git-repository-on-a-debian-server I only picked the parts that are needed to get it working and left the additional things out.
