Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need:

Step 1: Install the Required Packages

To install Gitlist on Fedora CoreOS Latest, you need to install some dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following command to update the system:

Step 3: Install Gitlist

Now that Composer is installed, you can use it to install Gitlist.

Create a new directory for Gitlist in your home directory by running the following command:

Now, navigate to the Gitlist directory using the following command:

cd ~/gitlist

Next, create a new composer.json file in the Gitlist directory using the following command:

Enter the following code into composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "gitlist/gitlist": "~1.0"
    }
}

Save the file and exit.

Now, install Gitlist by running the following command:

Configure the Gitlist settings to match your needs. You may also want to edit the theme settings to match your personal preferences.

Save the file and exit.
