-stagit
-------
-
-static git page generator.
-
-It generates static HTML pages for a git repository.
-
-
-Usage
------
-
-Make files per repository:
-
- $ mkdir -p htmlroot/htmlrepo1 && cd htmlroot/htmlrepo1
- $ stagit path/to/gitrepo1
- repeat for other repositories
- $ ...
-
-Make index file for repositories:
-
- $ cd htmlroot
- $ stagit-index path/to/gitrepo1 \
- path/to/gitrepo2 \
- path/to/gitrepo3 > index.html
-
-
-Build and install
------------------
-
-$ make
-# make install
-
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-- C compiler (C99).
-- libc (tested with OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux: glibc and musl).
-- libgit2 (v0.22+).
-- POSIX make (optional).
-
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-See man pages: stagit(1) and stagit-index(1).
-
-
-Building a static binary
-------------------------
-
-It may be useful to build static binaries, for example to run in a chroot.
-
-It can be done like this at the time of writing (v0.24):
-
-cd libgit2-src
-
-# change the options in the CMake file: CMakeLists.txt
-BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to OFF (static)
-CURL to OFF (not needed)
-USE_SSH OFF (not needed)
-THREADSAFE OFF (not needed)
-USE_OPENSSL OFF (not needed, use builtin)
-
-mkdir -p build && cd build
-cmake ../
-make
-make install
-
-
-Extract owner field from git config
------------------------------------
-
-A way to extract the gitweb owner for example in the format:
-
- [gitweb]
- owner = Name here
-
-Script:
-
- #!/bin/sh
- awk '/^[ ]*owner[ ]=/ {
- sub(/^[^=]*=[ ]*/, "");
- print $0;
- }'
-
-
-Set clone URL for a directory of repos
---------------------------------------
- #!/bin/sh
- cd "$dir"
- for i in *; do
- test -d "$i" && echo "git://git.codemadness.org/$i" > "$i/url"
- done
-
-
-Update files on git push
-------------------------
-
-Using a post-receive hook the static files can be automatically updated.
-Keep in mind git push -f can change the history and the commits may need
-to be recreated. This is because stagit checks if a commit file already
-exists. It also has a cache (-c) option which can conflict with the new
-history. See stagit(1).
-
-git post-receive hook (repo/.git/hooks/post-receive):
-
- #!/bin/sh
- # detect git push -f
- force=0
- while read -r old new ref; do
- hasrevs=$(git rev-list "$old" "^$new" | sed 1q)
- if test -n "$hasrevs"; then
- force=1
- break
- fi
- done
-
- # remove commits and .cache on git push -f
- #if test "$force" = "1"; then
- # ...
- #fi
-
- # see example_create.sh for normal creation of the files.
-
-
-Create .tar.gz archives by tag
-------------------------------
- #!/bin/sh
- name="stagit"
- mkdir -p archives
- git tag -l | while read -r t; do
- f="archives/${name}-$(echo "${t}" | tr '/' '_').tar.gz"
- test -f "${f}" && continue
- git archive \
- --format tar.gz \
- --prefix "${t}/" \
- -o "${f}" \
- -- \
- "${t}"
- done
-
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Log of all commits from HEAD.
-- Log and diffstat per commit.
-- Show file tree with linkable line numbers.
-- Show references: local branches and tags.
-- Detect README and LICENSE file from HEAD and link it as a webpage.
-- Detect submodules (.gitmodules file) from HEAD and link it as a webpage.
-- Atom feed of the commit log (atom.xml).
-- Atom feed of the tags/refs (tags.xml).
-- Make index page for multiple repositories with stagit-index.
-- After generating the pages (relatively slow) serving the files is very fast,
- simple and requires little resources (because the content is static), only
- a HTTP file server is required.
-- Usable with text-browsers such as dillo, links, lynx and w3m.
-
-
-Cons
-----
-
-- Not suitable for large repositories (2000+ commits), because diffstats are
- an expensive operation, the cache (-c flag) is a workaround for this in
- some cases.
-- Not suitable for large repositories with many files, because all files are
- written for each execution of stagit. This is because stagit shows the lines
- of textfiles and there is no "cache" for file metadata (this would add more
- complexity to the code).
-- Not suitable for repositories with many branches, a quite linear history is
- assumed (from HEAD).
-
- In these cases it is better to just use cgit or possibly change stagit to
- run as a CGI program.
-
-- Relatively slow to run the first time (about 3 seconds for sbase,
- 1500+ commits), incremental updates are faster.
-- Does not support some of the dynamic features cgit has, like:
- - Snapshot tarballs per commit.
- - File tree per commit.
- - History log of branches diverged from HEAD.
- - Stats (git shortlog -s).
-
- This is by design, just use git locally.
