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).
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
