In the web browser, the name in the Project column is only ".git", and not the "myrepo.git" which I would like to have, and as it is on http://repo.or.cz/ (which is a site that also uses gitweb). How do I configure it to serve the project directory (or even better, all the repos in a directory), and name them appropriately? (Is it possible to do with instaweb, or can it only be done with a more heavy approach like using apache?) Thanks for any quick ideas, cheers, /Lars ``` ## Daniele Segato, 2009-10-07 20:01 Subject: Re: gitweb calls the project ".git" Message-ID: <1254945698.7415.1.camel@localhost> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1254945698.7415.1.camel%40localhost In-Reply-To: ``` Il giorno mer, 07/10/2009 alle 18.31 +0200, Lars Rasmusson ha scritto: > Hi, I am serving a repository with "git instaweb". > > In the web browser, the name in the Project column is only ".git", and > not the "myrepo.git" > which I would like to have, and as it is on http://repo.or.cz/ (which > is a site that also uses gitweb). > > How do I configure it to serve the project directory (or even better, > all the repos in a directory), and name them appropriately? > > (Is it possible to do with instaweb, or can it only be done with a > more heavy approach like using apache?) as for I know by default you should create a simbolic link to your .git directory in /var/cache/git/ the name of the project depends of the name of the symbolic link example: /var/cache/git/yourproject.git --> /your/project/path/.git/ Bye, Daniele ```
