+GIT web Interface (gitweb) Installation
+=======================================
+
+First you have to generate gitweb.cgi from gitweb.perl using
+"make gitweb", then "make install-gitweb" appropriate files
+(gitweb.cgi, gitweb.js, gitweb.css, git-logo.png and git-favicon.png)
+to their destination. For example if git was (or is) installed with
+/usr prefix and gitwebdir is /var/www/cgi-bin, you can do
+
+	$ make prefix=/usr gitweb                            ;# as yourself
+	# make gitwebdir=/var/www/cgi-bin install-gitweb     ;# as root
+
+Alternatively you can use autoconf generated ./configure script to
+set up path to git binaries (via config.mak.autogen), so you can write
+instead
+
+	$ make configure                     ;# as yourself
+	$ ./configure --prefix=/usr          ;# as yourself
+	$ make gitweb                        ;# as yourself
+	# make gitwebdir=/var/www/cgi-bin \
+	       install-gitweb                ;# as root
+
+The above example assumes that your web server is configured to run
+[executable] files in /var/www/cgi-bin/ as server scripts (as CGI
+scripts).
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+ - Core git tools
+ - Perl 5.8
+ - Perl modules: CGI, Encode, Fcntl, File::Find, File::Basename.
+ - web server
+
+The following optional Perl modules are required for extra features
+ - CGI::Fast and FCGI - for running gitweb as FastCGI script
+ - HTML::TagCloud - for fancy tag cloud in project list view
+ - HTTP::Date or Time::ParseDate - to support If-Modified-Since for feeds
+
+
+Build time configuration
+------------------------
+
+See also "How to configure gitweb for your local system" section below.
+
+- There are many configuration variables which affect building of
+  gitweb.cgi; see "default configuration for gitweb" section in main
+  (top dir) Makefile, and instructions for building gitweb target.
+
+  One of the most important is where to find the git wrapper binary. Gitweb
+  tries to find the git wrapper at $(bindir)/git, so you have to set $bindir
+  when building gitweb.cgi, or $prefix from which $bindir is derived. If
+  you build and install gitweb together with the rest of the git suite,
+  there should be no problems. Otherwise, if git was for example
+  installed from a binary package, you have to set $prefix (or $bindir)
+  accordingly.
+
+- Another important issue is where are git repositories you want to make
+  available to gitweb. By default gitweb searches for repositories under
+  /pub/git; if you want to have projects somewhere else, like /home/git,
+  use GITWEB_PROJECTROOT build configuration variable.
+
+  By default all git repositories under projectroot are visible and
+  available to gitweb. The list of projects is generated by default by
+  scanning the projectroot directory for git repositories. This can be
+  changed (configured) as described in "Gitweb repositories" section
+  below.
+
+  Note that gitweb deals directly with the object database, and does not
+  need a working directory; the name of the project is the name of its
+  repository object database, usually projectname.git for bare
+  repositories. If you want to provide gitweb access to non-bare (live)
+  repositories, you can make projectname.git a symbolic link under
+  projectroot linking to projectname/.git (but it is just
+  a suggestion).
+
+- You can control where gitweb tries to find its main CSS style file,
+  its JavaScript file, its favicon and logo with the GITWEB_CSS, GITWEB_JS
+  GITWEB_FAVICON and GITWEB_LOGO build configuration variables. By default
+  gitweb tries to find them in the same directory as gitweb.cgi script.
+
+- You can optionally generate minified versions of gitweb.js and gitweb.css
+  by defining the JSMIN and CSSMIN build configuration variables. By default
+  the non-minified versions will be used. NOTE: if you enable this option,
+  substitute gitweb.min.js and gitweb.min.css for all uses of gitweb.js and
+  gitweb.css in the help files.
+
+
+How to configure gitweb for your local system
+---------------------------------------------
+
+You can specify the following configuration variables when building GIT:
+
+ * GIT_BINDIR
+   Points where to find the git executable.  You should set it up to
+   the place where the git binary was installed (usually /usr/bin) if you
+   don't install git from sources together with gitweb.  [Default: $(bindir)]
+ * GITWEB_SITENAME
+   Shown in the title of all generated pages, defaults to the server name
+   (SERVER_NAME CGI environment variable) if not set. [No default]
+ * GITWEB_PROJECTROOT
+   The root directory for all projects shown by gitweb. Must be set
+   correctly for gitweb to find repositories to display.  See also
+   "Gitweb repositories" in the INSTALL file for gitweb.  [Default: /pub/git]
+ * GITWEB_PROJECT_MAXDEPTH
+   The filesystem traversing limit for getting the project list; the number
+   is taken as depth relative to the projectroot.  It is used when
+   GITWEB_LIST is a directory (or is not set; then project root is used).
+   This is meant to speed up project listing on large work trees by limiting
+   search depth.  [Default: 2007]
+ * GITWEB_LIST
+   Points to a directory to scan for projects (defaults to project root
+   if not set / if empty) or to a file with explicit listing of projects
+   (together with projects' ownership). See "Generating projects list
+   using gitweb" in INSTALL file for gitweb to find out how to generate
+   such file from scan of a directory. [No default, which means use root
+   directory for projects]
+ * GITWEB_EXPORT_OK
+   Show repository only if this file exists (in repository).  Only
+   effective if this variable evaluates to true.  [No default / Not set]
+ * GITWEB_STRICT_EXPORT
+   Only allow viewing of repositories also shown on the overview page.
+   This for example makes GITWEB_EXPORT_OK to decide if repository is
+   available and not only if it is shown.  If GITWEB_LIST points to
+   file with list of project, only those repositories listed would be
+   available for gitweb.  [No default]
+ * GITWEB_HOMETEXT
+   Points to an .html file which is included on the gitweb project
+   overview page ('projects_list' view), if it exists.  Relative to
+   gitweb.cgi script.  [Default: indextext.html]
+ * GITWEB_SITE_HTML_HEAD_STRING
+   html snippet to include in the <head> section of each page. [No default]
+ * GITWEB_SITE_HEADER
+   Filename of html text to include at top of each page.  Relative to
+   gitweb.cgi script.  [No default]
+ * GITWEB_SITE_FOOTER
+   Filename of html text to include at bottom of each page.  Relative to
+   gitweb.cgi script.  [No default]
+ * GITWEB_HOME_LINK_STR
+   String of the home link on top of all pages, leading to $home_link
+   (usually main gitweb page, which means projects list).  Used as first
+   part of gitweb view "breadcrumb trail": <home> / <project> / <view>.
+   [Default: projects]
+ * GITWEB_SITENAME
+   Name of your site or organization to appear in page titles.  Set it
+   to something descriptive for clearer bookmarks etc.  If not set
+   (if empty) gitweb uses "$SERVER_NAME Git", or "Untitled Git" if
+   SERVER_NAME CGI environment variable is not set (e.g. if running
+   gitweb as standalone script).  [No default]
+ * GITWEB_BASE_URL
+   Git base URLs used for URL to where fetch project from, i.e. full
+   URL is "$git_base_url/$project".  Shown on projects summary page.
+   Repository URL for project can be also configured per repository; this
+   takes precedence over URLs composed from base URL and a project name.
+   Note that you can setup multiple base URLs (for example one for
+   git:// protocol access, another for http:// access) from the gitweb
+   config file.  [No default]
+ * GITWEB_CSS
+   Points to the location where you put gitweb.css on your web server
+   (or to be more generic, the URI of gitweb stylesheet).  Relative to the
+   base URI of gitweb.  Note that you can setup multiple stylesheets from
+   the gitweb config file.  [Default: static/gitweb.css (or
+   static/gitweb.min.css if the CSSMIN variable is defined / CSS minifier
+   is used)]
+ * GITWEB_JS
+   Points to the location where you put gitweb.js on your web server
+   (or to be more generic URI of JavaScript code used by gitweb).
+   Relative to base URI of gitweb.  [Default: static/gitweb.js (or
+   static/gitweb.min.js if JSMIN build variable is defined / JavaScript
+   minifier is used)]
+ * CSSMIN, JSMIN
+   Invocation of a CSS minifier or a JavaScript minifier, respectively,
+   working as a filter (source on standard input, minified result on
+   standard output).  If set, it is used to generate a minified version of
+   'static/gitweb.css' or 'static/gitweb.js', respectively.  *Note* that
+   minified files would have *.min.css and *.min.js extension, which is
+   important if you also set GITWEB_CSS and/or GITWEB_JS.  [No default]
+ * GITWEB_LOGO
+   Points to the location where you put git-logo.png on your web server
+   (or to be more generic URI of logo, 72x27 size, displayed in top right
+   corner of each gitweb page, and used as logo for Atom feed).  Relative
+   to base URI of gitweb.  [Default: static/git-logo.png]
+ * GITWEB_FAVICON
+   Points to the location where you put git-favicon.png on your web server
+   (or to be more generic URI of favicon, assumed to be image/png type;
+   web browsers that support favicons (website icons) may display them
+   in the browser's URL bar and next to site name in bookmarks).  Relative
+   to base URI of gitweb.  [Default: static/git-favicon.png]
+ * GITWEB_CONFIG
+   This Perl file will be loaded using 'do' and can be used to override any
+   of the options above as well as some other options -- see the "Runtime
+   gitweb configuration" section below, and top of 'gitweb.cgi' for their
+   full list and description.  If the environment variable GITWEB_CONFIG
+   is set when gitweb.cgi is executed, then the file specified in the
+   environment variable will be loaded instead of the file specified
+   when gitweb.cgi was created.  [Default: gitweb_config.perl]
+ * GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM
+   This Perl file will be loaded using 'do' as a fallback if GITWEB_CONFIG
+   does not exist.  If the environment variable GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM is set
+   when gitweb.cgi is executed, then the file specified in the environment
+   variable will be loaded instead of the file specified when gitweb.cgi was
+   created.  [Default: /etc/gitweb.conf]
+ * HIGHLIGHT_BIN
+   Path to the highlight executable to use (must be the one from
+   http://www.andre-simon.de due to assumptions about parameters and output).
+   Useful if highlight is not installed on your webserver's PATH.
+   [Default: highlight]
+
+Build example
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- To install gitweb to /var/www/cgi-bin/gitweb/, when git wrapper
+  is installed at /usr/local/bin/git, the repositories (projects)
+  we want to display are under /home/local/scm, and you do not use
+  minifiers, you can do
+
+	make GITWEB_PROJECTROOT="/home/local/scm" \
+	     GITWEB_JS="gitweb/static/gitweb.js" \
+	     GITWEB_CSS="gitweb/static/gitweb.css" \
+	     GITWEB_LOGO="gitweb/static/git-logo.png" \
+	     GITWEB_FAVICON="gitweb/static/git-favicon.png" \
+	     bindir=/usr/local/bin \
+	     gitweb
+
+	make gitwebdir=/var/www/cgi-bin/gitweb install-gitweb
+
+
+Gitweb config file
+------------------
+
+See also "Runtime gitweb configuration" section in README file
+for gitweb (in gitweb/README), and gitweb.conf(5) manpage.
+
+- You can configure gitweb further using the per-instance gitweb configuration file;
+  by default this is a file named gitweb_config.perl in the same place as
+  gitweb.cgi script. You can control the default place for the config file
+  using the GITWEB_CONFIG build configuration variable, and you can set it
+  using the GITWEB_CONFIG environment variable. If this file does not
+  exist, gitweb looks for a system-wide configuration file, normally
+  /etc/gitweb.conf. You can change the default using the
+  GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM build configuration variable, and override it
+  through the GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM environment variable.
+
+  Note that the GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM system-wide configuration file is
+  only used for instances that lack per-instance configuration file.
+  You can use GITWEB_CONFIG_COMMON common system-wide configuration
+  file (normally /etc/gitweb-common.conf) to keep common default
+  settings that apply to all instances.  Settings from per-instance or
+  system-wide configuration file override those from common system-wide
+  configuration file.
+
+- The gitweb config file is a fragment of perl code. You can set variables
+  using "our $variable = value"; text from "#" character until the end
+  of a line is ignored. See perlsyn(1) for details.
+
+  See the top of gitweb.perl file for examples of customizable options.
+
+Config file example
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To enable blame, pickaxe search, and snapshot support, while allowing
+individual projects to turn them off, put the following in your
+GITWEB_CONFIG file:
+
+	$feature{'blame'}{'default'} = [1];
+	$feature{'blame'}{'override'} = 1;
+
+	$feature{'pickaxe'}{'default'} = [1];
+	$feature{'pickaxe'}{'override'} = 1;
+
+	$feature{'snapshot'}{'default'} = ['zip', 'tgz'];
+	$feature{'snapshot'}{'override'} = 1;
+
+If you allow overriding for the snapshot feature, you can specify which
+snapshot formats are globally disabled. You can also add any command line
+options you want (such as setting the compression level). For instance,
+you can disable Zip compressed snapshots and set GZip to run at level 6 by
+adding the following lines to your $GITWEB_CONFIG:
+
+	$known_snapshot_formats{'zip'}{'disabled'} = 1;
+	$known_snapshot_formats{'tgz'}{'compressor'} = ['gzip','-6'];
+
+
+Gitweb repositories
+-------------------
+
+By default gitweb shows all git repositories under single common repository
+root on a local filesystem; see description of GITWEB_PROJECTROOT build-time
+configuration variable above (and also of GITWEB_LIST).
+
+More advanced usage, like limiting access or visibility of repositories and
+managing multiple roots are described on gitweb manpage.
