A (static) git repository browser [mirror]
722d765973
By default, the markdown generator creates links for local files transparently. For example, "[text](link.md)" will generate "<a href=link.md>text</a>". This works fine for absolute and external links, but breaks for links relative to the repository itself, as git-arr links are of the form "dir/f=file.ext.html". So this patch adds a markdown extension to rewrite the links. It uses a heuristic to detect them, which should work for the vast majority of common cases. |

git-arr - A git repository browser ---------------------------------- git-arr is a git repository browser that can generate static HTML instead of having to run dynamically. It is smaller, with less features and a different set of tradeoffs than other similar software, so if you're looking for a robust and featureful git browser, please look at gitweb or cgit instead. However, if you want to generate static HTML at the expense of features, then it's probably going to be useful. It's open source under the MIT licence, please see the LICENSE file for more information. Getting started --------------- You will need Python, and the bottle.py framework (the package is usually called python-bottle in most distributions). If pygments is available, it will be used for syntax highlighting, otherwise everything will work fine, just in black and white. First, create a configuration file for your repositories. You can start by copying sample.conf, which has the list of the available options. Then, to generate the output to "/var/www/git-arr/" directory, run: $ ./git-arr --config config.conf generate --output /var/www/git-arr/ That's it! The first time you generate, depending on the size of your repositories, it can take some time. Subsequent runs should take less time, as it is smart enough to only generate what has changed. You can also use git-arr dynamically, although it's not its intended mode of use, by running: $ ./git-arr --config config.conf serve That can be useful when making changes to the software itself.
