Cgit is a web-based Git repository browser that allows users to browse through their Git repositories. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Cgit on NetBSD.
Before we start, you need to have the following installed:
Open your terminal and run the following command to install the required packages:
sudo pkgin update
sudo pkgin install cmake fcgi fcgiwrap git
Run the following command to clone the Cgit repository:
git clone https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/
Navigate to the Cgit directory by running the command:
cd cgit
Now, run the following command to build Cgit:
make
Once the build process is complete, run the following command to install Cgit:
sudo make install
After installing Cgit, you need to configure it to work with your repositories.
Create a new configuration file by running the command:
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/cgitrc
Add the following lines to the file to enable Cgit:
enable-index-owner=1
enable-filter-overrides=1
scan-path=/path/to/your/repositories
css=/cgit.css
logo=/cgit.png
Replace /path/to/your/repositories with the path to your Git repositories.
Now that everything is set up, start Cgit by running the following command:
sudo /usr/local/sbin/cgid
You should now be able to access Cgit by navigating to http://localhost/cgit in your web browser.
Cgit is a powerful tool for browsing through Git repositories. With this tutorial, you should now be able to easily install and configure Cgit on NetBSD and start using it to manage your Git repositories.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
