Goal
Setting up gitweb (web interface for SCM software git) for your project’s git repository for public access and developer commits via ssh.
Assumptions
- You already have your project’s git repository.
- You have hosting space somewhere to host gitweb.
- You have root access.
- You are using Apache as webserver.
Example for this howto
Project : VideoCache
Domain for gitweb : git.cachevideos.com
URL for git access for videocache : http://git.cachevideos.com/videocache.git
Actual path on server : /home/saini/domains/cachevideos.com/git
Git repository : /home/saini/projects/videocache/
Installation
Installation is pretty easy. Just one single command would do everything.
[ root@ localhost ~] # yum install gitweb (do as root)
This will create a directory /var/www/git which is default for gitweb.
Copy the directory /var/www/git/ to /home/saini/domains/cachevideos.com/git
[ root@ localhost ~] # cp -r /var/www/git /home/saini/domains/cachevideos.com/git
Configuration
1. GitWeb
Open the file /etc/gitweb.conf (it may or may not be there) and add the following lines to it.
# Change This
$projectroot = '/home/saini/domains/cachevideos.com/git' ;
# Change This
$site_name = "Kulbir Saini's git trees." ;
# Don't Change the variables below
$my_uri = "/" ;
$home_link = '/' ;
@stylesheets = ( "/gitweb.css" ) ;
$favicon = "/git-favicon.png" ;
$logo = "/git-logo.png" ;
2. Apache
Open the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/git.conf and clear all the lines that are already there and add the following lines to it
DocumentRoot / home/ saini/ domains/ cachevideos.com/ git
ServerName git.cachevideos.com
ErrorLog "/home/saini/domains/cachevideos.com/logs/error_log"
CustomLog "/home/saini/domains/cachevideos.com/logs/access_log" combined
SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG / etc/ gitweb.conf
DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi
Allow from all
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
SetHandler cgi-script
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^[ a-zA-Z0-9 _/-] +/.git/ ?( /?.* ) ?$ / gitweb.cgi% { REQUEST_URI} [ L,PT]
3. Git repository configuration
Go to your git repository (/home/saini/projects/videocache/ ) and make the following changes.
(a). Open file .git/description and add a short nice description for your project.
videocache is a squid url rewriter plugin written in Python to facilitate youtube, metacafe, dailymotion, google, vimeo, msn soapbox, tvuol.uol.com.br, blip.tv, break.com videos and wrzuta.pl audio caching.
(b). Open file .git/config and append the following lines
[ gitweb]
owner = "Kulbir Saini"
Copy project’s git repository for gitweb
Copy the /home/saini/projects/videocache/.git directory to /home/saini/domains/cachevideos.com/git/videocache.git
[ root@ localhost ~] # cp -r /home/saini/projects/videocache/.git /home/saini/domains/cachevideos.com/git/videocache.git
Finishing Step
Restart Apache webserver.
[ root@ localhost ~] # service httpd restart
Now you can browser a list of your projects’ git repositories at http://git.cachevideos.com/ .
Adding another project repository
Just copy the project repository’s .git directory to /home/saini/domains/cachevideos.com/git/prjoect_name.git . And it’ll be shown on the list.
Committing (pushing) to the repository
For committing to the repository via ssh use the following command.
# Pushing everything (Please see the username)
[ root@ localhost videocache] # git push --all ssh://saini@git.cachevideos.com/~saini/domains/cachevideos.com/git/videocache.git
To update tags on the remote repository use this command.
# Pushing all tags
[ root@ localhost videocache] # git push --tags ssh://saini@git.cachevideos.com/~saini/domains/cachevideos.com/git/videocache.git
Well, if you consider just the web interface and committing part for your project, thats all. But things can be fine tuned further. Below are few hacks!
1. Enabling nice urls.
By default the urls for browsing repository via git web are pretty crappy and difficult to remember. The RewriteRule and RewriteEngine lines in your Apache configuration file (/etc/httpd/conf.d/git.conf ) takes care of that and produce nice and clean urls.
So you can browser the repository via http://git.cachevideos.com/videocache.git instead of http://git.cachevideos.com/?p=videocache.git;a=summary .
2. Enabling remote ls (git-ls-remote or git ls-remote)
This is the most trickiest part. If you try the command below, it won’t produce any output
[ root@ localhost ~] # git-ls-remote http://git.cachevideos.com/videocache.git
You need to go to project’s repository in gitweb and then run the following command to update the server info for git.
[ root@ localhost ~] # cd /home/saini/domains/cachevideos.com/git/videocache.git/
[ root@ localhost ~] # git-update-server-info
Try the ls-remote command now and it should succeed by producing all the branches and tags in the remote repository.
But there is a problem, you have to run the above command after every commit to the remote repository. To solve this issue, you can enable post-update hook for the project’s repository in gitweb. Use the following command to enable it.
[ root@ localhost ~] # cd /home/saini/domains/cachevideos.com/git/videocache.git/
[ root@ localhost ~] # chmod +x post-update
The above command will update the server info automatically every time you commit.
Thats all you need to do for setting up gitweb. I hope this will be helpful.
