elgit
-----

A git web frontend written in Go, forked from elgit after the author moved on.


FORK CHANGES
• Uses gomponents instead of html/template.
• Better integration with [gitolite](https://gitolite.com/gitolite/index.html)
• repo.ignore is ignored: only repositories listed in projects.list are shown.
• Supports subdirectories

FEATURES

• Cloning over http(s).
• Less archaic HTML.
• Not CGI.


INSTALLING

Clone it, 'go build' it.


CONFIG

Uses yaml for configuration. Looks for a 'config.yaml' in the current
directory by default; pass the '--config' flag to point it elsewhere.

Example config.yaml:

    repo:
      root: /var/lib/gitolite
      readme:
        - readme
        - README
        - readme.md
        - README.md
      mainBranch:
        - master
        - main
    dirs:
      static: ./static
    meta:
      title: git good
      description: i think it's a skill issue
      syntaxHighlight: monokailight
    server:
      name: git.icyphox.sh
      host: 127.0.0.1
      port: 5555

These options are fairly self-explanatory, but of note are:

• repo.root: where all your git repos live (or die). This should contain projects.list
  and repositories/
• dirs: use this to override the static assets.
• repo.readme: readme files to look for.
• repo.mainBranch: main branch names to look for.
• repo.unlisted: repos to hide, relative to root/repositories.
• server.name: used for go-import meta tags and clone URLs.
• meta.syntaxHighlight: this is used to select the syntax theme to render. If left
  blank or removed, the native theme will be used. If an invalid theme is set in this field,
  it will default to "monokailight". For more information
  about themes, please refer to chroma's gallery [1].


NOTES

• Run elgit behind a TLS terminating proxy like relayd(8) or nginx.
• Cloning only works in bare repos -- this is a limitation inherent to git. You
  can still view non-bare repos just fine in elgit.
• Pushing over https, while supported, is disabled because auth is a
  pain. Use ssh.
• Paths are unveil(2)'d on OpenBSD.
