First create a virtual host for gitweb in apache
DocumentRoot /home/gitweb.bizhat.com/public_html/ ServerName gitweb.bizhat.com CustomLog /var/log/httpd/gitweb.bizhat.com.log combined AddHandler cgi-script .cgi DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi AllowOverride All Options All Order allow,deny Allow from all RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^.* /gitweb.cgi/$0 [L,PT]
NOTE: since wordpress is not converting < tag in virtual host entry, i have uploaded actual virtual host used here http://blog.hostonnet.com/files_hon/gitweb.conf
GitWeb is part of git installation. If you have installed git from source, you will see gitweb folder inside git source.
Copy gitweb to docroot of your web site.
mkdir -p /home/gitweb.bizhat.com/public_html/ cd /usr/local/src/git*/gitweb cp -Rf * /home/gitweb.bizhat.com/public_html/
After visiting the web site, i got following error
Can't locate CGI.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
So i installed perl-CGI
yum install perl-CGI
Now sites start working, but did not show any repository.
Now you need to edit gitweb.cgi and set path to repository.
Edit gitweb.cgi
vi gitweb.cgi
Find
our $projectroot = "/pub/git";
Replace with your gitosis install path
our $projectroot = "/home/git/repositories/";
Now gitweb will show all repos.
To show only selected projects in gitweb, edit gitweb.cgi
Find
our $projects_list = "";
Replace with
our $projects_list = "projects.txt";
Now create a file “projects.txt” with name of repos you want to show in gitweb.
root@server70 [/home/gitweb.bizhat.com/public_html/]# cat projects.txt website.git HostOnNetbilling.git HostOnNet cms.git HostOnNet root@server70 [/home/gitweb.bizhat.com/public_html/]#
