Today I was working on a friends git repository when I noticed that the cgit website is down. Thankfully I have a backup of the current repository if anyone needs it.
This mirror will auto update if the repository comes back, but will also let you download and install cgit on your own server via the following command.
git clone http://git.mattrude.com/mirror/cgit.git
If you run into any problems with this mirror, please let me know in the comments.
To start out with, we need to install the Nginx and the other dependencies.
apt-get install nginx fcgiwrap git
Ok, here we go, lets start out by creating a place to play with source, I always build in /var/src/ but your welcome to do this anywhere you wish.
/etc/sysconfig/spawn-fcgi:
FCGI_SOCKET=/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket FCGI_PROGRAM=/usr/local/sbin/fcgiwrap FCGI_USER=nginx FCGI_GROUP=nginx FCGI_EXTRA_OPTIONS="-M 0700" OPTIONS="-u $FCGI_USER -g $FCGI_GROUP -s $FCGI_SOCKET -S $FCGI_EXTRA_OPTIONS -F 1 -P /var/run/spawn-fcgi.pid -- $FCGI_PROGRAM"
server {
listen 80;
server_name code.example.com;
root /var/www/code.example.com;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT /var/www/code.example.com;
rewrite ^/secure/ https://code.example.com$request_uri permanent;
location /cgit.css { expires 180d; }

location /robots.txt { expires 180d; }
# Serve static files
location ~* ^.+.(css|png|ico)$ {
root /var/www/code.example.com;
expires 30d;
}
location / {
#rewrite ^/([^?/]+/[^?]*)?(?:?(.*))?$ /cgit?url=$1&$2 last;
include "fastcgi_params";
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/spawn-fcgi.socket;
fastcgi_index /;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/code.example.com/cgit.cgi;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $uri;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $args;
}
}
CGIT is a nice, quick, and easy way of displaying git repositories. After much fighting I figured out how to allow CGIT to display URLs such as http://code.example.com/repository.git (the git is optional).
Below is the Apache config for code.example.com:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName code.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/code.example.com
CustomLog logs/code.example.com.access_log combined
ErrorLog logs/code.example.com.error_log
SetEnv CGIT_CONFIG /var/www/code.example.com/cgitrc
Alias /cgit.css /var/www/code.example.com/cgit.css
Alias /cgit.png /var/www/code.example.com/cgit.png
Alias /favicon.ico /var/www/code.example.com/favicon.ico
Alias /robots.txt /var/www/code.example.com/robots.txt
Alias / /var/www/code.example.com/cgit.cgi/
<Directory /var/www/code.example.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
DirectoryIndex cgit.cgi
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
