11 $ make 11Building cgit involves building a proper version of git. How to do this
12 $ su 12depends on how you obtained the cgit sources:
13 $ make install 13
14a) If you're working in a cloned cgit repository, you first need to
15initialize and update the git submodule:
16
17 $ git submodule init # register the git submodule in .git/config
18 $ $EDITOR .git/config # if you want to specify a different url for git
19 $ git submodule update # clone/fetch and checkout correct git version
20
21b) If you're building from a cgit tarball, you can download a proper git
22version like this:
14 23
15This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit". 24 $ make get-git
16 25
17Note: The initial "make" will create a submodule 'git' and clone the git
18repository at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git in it. If you
19already have a local git git repository that you want to use as origin
20for the submodule, run
21 26
22 $ git clone -s <path-to-git-repo> git 27When either a) or b) has been performed, you can build and install cgit like
23 $ ./submodules.sh -u 28this:
24 29
25before running "make". 30 $ make
31 $ sudo make install
26 32
33This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit". You can
34configure this location (and a few other things) by providing a "cgit.conf"
35file (see the Makefile for details).

85* Submodule links in the directory listing page have a fixed format per
86 repository. This should probably be extended to a generic map between
87 submodule path and url.
88
89* Branch- and tag-lists in the summary page can get very long, they should
90 probably only show something like the ten "latest modified" branches and
91 a similar number of "most recent" tags.
92
93* There should be a new page for browsing refs/heads and refs/tags, with links
94 from the summary page whenever the branch/tag lists overflow.
75 95
76Submodule links in the directory listing page have a fixed format per 96* The log-page should have more/better search options (author, committer,
