# legitrx

This is [Runxi Yu](https://runxiyu.org)'s fork of
[icyphox](https://icyphox.sh/)'s
[legitrx](https://git.icyphox.sh/legitrx/) project

The README hasn't really been updated yet and not much has happened in
the fork yet. Just use upstream for now.

A git web frontend written in Go.

## FEATURES

- Fully customizable templates and stylesheets.
- Cloning over http(s).
- Less archaic HTML.
- Not CGI.

## INSTALLING

Clone it, 'go build' it.

## CONFIG

Uses yaml for configuration. Looks for a 'config.yaml' in the current
directory by default; pass the '--config' flag to point it elsewhere.

Example config.yaml:

    repo:
      scanPath: /var/www/git
      readme:
        - readme
        - README
        - readme.md
        - README.md
      mainBranch:
        - master
        - main
      ignore:
        - foo
        - bar
    dirs:
      templates: ./templates
      static: ./static
    meta:
      title: git good
      description: i think it's a skill issue
    server:
      name: git.icyphox.sh
      host: 127.0.0.1
      port: 5555

These options are fairly self-explanatory, but of note are:

- repo.scanPath: where all your git repos live (or die). legitrx doesn't
  traverse subdirs yet.
- dirs: use this to override the default templates and static assets.
- repo.readme: readme files to look for.
- repo.mainBranch: main branch names to look for.
- repo.ignore: repos to ignore, relative to scanPath.
- server.name: used for go-import meta tags and clone URLs.

## NOTES

- Run legitrx behind a TLS terminating proxy like relayd(8) or nginx.
- Cloning only works in bare repos -- this is a limitation inherent to git. You
  can still view bare repos just fine in legitrx.
- The default head.html template uses my CDN to fetch fonts -- you may
  or may not want this.
- Pushing over https, while supported, is disabled because auth is a
  pain. Use ssh.
- Paths are unveil(2)'d on OpenBSD.

## IDEAS

- Support for filters for markdown rendering and code highlighting.
