Unpack it, make sure you've got at least Python 2.3, optionally install c2html, adjust config.py and start from the root with $ PYTHONPATH=. python git/web/wit.py Point your browser to http://localhost:8090 I append my random notes about this thing: * wit was built with git 075930771b68528ae13630375df2fe634e9ac610 which is 2-3 days old, it's untested with newer gits, it's functional for me * philosophy: provide a git repository browser and show the basic types of git under appropriate URIs like /commit/head, /commit/, /tree/head, /tree/, /blob/ and encode operations in URIs like /tree//tarball * the html is probably invalid and looks like crap * it's just sitting on top of git because that's the least moving part of git right now (hah), no usage of git-pasky yet * it's done with quixote 2.0 which is included * don't use it on a kernel tree or you will experience slowness beyond your wildest dreams * it doesn't use revision.h or other lighning fast C goodies until the dust settles down * it'll probably eat your dog and falls apart when blowing at it * I happen to think that it's a nice start Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
