+CGITRC(5)
+========
NAME
----
- cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
+cgitrc - runtime configuration for cgit
-DESCRIPTION
------------
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
Cgitrc contains all runtime settings for cgit, including the list of git
repositories, formatted as a line-separated list of NAME=VALUE pairs. Blank
lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored.
+LOCATION
+--------
+The default location of cgitrc, defined at compile time, is /etc/cgitrc. At
+runtime, cgit will consult the environment variable CGIT_CONFIG and, if
+defined, use its value instead.
