e.g. the default config file distributed in the Debian packages for git:

# path to git projects (<project>.git) $projectroot = "/var/cache/git";

# directory to use for temp files $git_temp = "/tmp";

# target of the home link on top of all pages $home_link = $my_uri;

# html text to include at home page $home_text = "indextext.html";

# file with project list; by default, simply scan the projectroot dir. $projects_list = $projectroot;

# stylesheet to use $stylesheet = "/gitweb.css";

# logo to use $logo = "/git-logo.png";

# the 'favicon' $favicon = "/git-favicon.png";
