Welcome to the toast.cafe git repository. If you’re wondering whether or not you have an account, the answer is probably not.

Convenience scripts now exist.

1. Run git cgit-setup (also sets up git-daemon)
2. Ask an operator to add your ~/git to /srv/cgit (only needed for cgit)
3. Run git -C ~/git/my.repo export on any bare repository you want to export. This will open your text editor for the cgitrc. It’s ok to run multiple times.

What follows are the original instructions.

To get your repositories listed on here, follow these steps:

1. setfacl -m u:cgit:x ~; chmod g+x ~
2. mkdir ~/git
3. setfacl -m u:cgit:rx,d:u:cgit:rx ~/git
4. Ask an operator to add your ~git to /srv/cgit.

Now any git repo (please –bare only) under ~/git will be listed and become clonable as long as it contains the git-daemon-export-ok file.

Sub-directories are allowed and the path up to the git repository becomes the category. So, for example, feel free to create ~/git/mirror/external, which will show up as ~user/mirror/external, and be shown on the index as external in the section ~user/mirror. The .git prefix is stripped if present, and cloning can be done without it.

You should configure your repositories so they aren’t shown as ownerless etc. To do this, open cgitrc(5): you can set repository settings via the repo-specific cgitrc file (e.g. ~/git/repo/cgitrc), or the local gitconfig (e.g. git config --local cgit.owner).
