I’ve been looking for a simple to set up viewer for git that would list out all the git repositories that I have on my git server. It took a bit of a search and I finally discovered viewgit. So far, I’ve found it pretty nice. Setting up viewgit is very simple.
Download the tarball from sourceforge. Extract it to your htdocs or www folder. Make a copy of example-localconfig.php and rename it as localconfig.php. Comment out the line$conf['projects'] and uncomment $conf['projects_glob'] = array ('/path/to/repo/);. If like me, you store all your git repos in one folder, this is the best viewer for the amount of work I’ve had to do. Maybe I should write about how to store git repos in one folder. A story for tomorrow!
