Avoid specifying font sizes in pixels, since that is just pure evil. Pointed out by Chris Riddoch. Note that this is pretty much just a proposal; I didn't test if everything fits perfectly right, but things seem to be pretty much okay. repo.or.cz uses it now as a test drive - if you find any visual quirks, please point them out, with a patch if possible since I'm total CSS noob and debugging CSS is an extremely painful experience for me. Note that this patch actually does change visual look of gitweb in Firefox with my resolution and default settings - everything is bigger and I can't explain the joy of actually seeing gitweb text that is in _readable_ size; also, my horizontal screen real estate feels better used now. But judging from the look of most modern webpages on the 'net, most people prefer reading the web with strained eyes and/or a magnifying glass (I wonder what species of scientists should look into this mystifying phenomenon) - so, please tell us what you think. Maybe we might want to get rid of absolute sizes other than font sizes in the CSS file too in the long term.

GIT web Interface ================= The one working on: http://www.kernel.org/git/ From the git version 1.4.0 gitweb is bundled with git. How to configure gitweb for your local system --------------------------------------------- You can specify the following configuration variables when building GIT: * GITWEB_SITENAME Shown in the title of all generated pages, defaults to the servers name. * GITWEB_PROJECTROOT The root directory for all projects shown by gitweb. * GITWEB_LIST points to a directory to scan for projects (defaults to project root) or to a file for explicit listing of projects. * GITWEB_HOMETEXT points to an .html file which is included on the gitweb project overview page. * GITWEB_CSS Points to the location where you put gitweb.css on your web server. * GITWEB_LOGO Points to the location where you put git-logo.png on your web server. * GITWEB_CONFIG This file will be loaded using 'require' and can be used to override any of the options above as well as some other options - see the top of 'gitweb.cgi' for their full list and description. If the environment $GITWEB_CONFIG is set when gitweb.cgi is executed the file in the environment variable will be loaded instead of the file specified when gitweb.cgi was created. Runtime gitweb configuration ---------------------------- You can adjust gitweb behaviour using the file specified in `GITWEB_CONFIG` (defaults to 'gitweb_config.perl' in the same directory as the CGI). See the top of 'gitweb.cgi' for the list of variables and some description. The most notable thing that is not configurable at compile time are the optional features, stored in the '%features' variable. You can find further description on how to reconfigure the default features setting in your `GITWEB_CONFIG` or per-project in `project.git/config` inside 'gitweb.cgi'. Webserver configuration ----------------------- If you want to have one URL for both gitweb and your http:// repositories, you can configure apache like this: <VirtualHost www:80> ServerName git.domain.org DocumentRoot /pub/git RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(info|objects|refs)).*)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi%{REQUEST_URI} [L,PT] SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf </VirtualHost> The above configuration expects your public repositories to live under /pub/git and will serve them as http://git.domain.org/dir-under-pub-git, both as cloneable GIT URL and as browseable gitweb interface. If you then start your git-daemon with --base-path=/pub/git --export-all then you can even use the git:// URL with exactly the same path. Setting the environment variable GITWEB_CONFIG will tell gitweb to use the named file (i.e. in this example /etc/gitweb.conf) as a configuration for gitweb. Perl variables defined in here will override the defaults given at the head of the gitweb.perl (or gitweb.cgi). Look at the comments in that file for information on which variables and what they mean.
