Frequently Asked Questions -------------------------- This is a compilation of frequently asked questions on the cgit mailing list. If you've got a cgit problem and cannot find an answer here, please send a request to cgit@hjemli.net (and consider sending a patch to the cgit wiki branch to update this faq if you get a nice answer to your question). ### Why doesn't cgit find/show my repo? This is most likely due to permission problems: cgit runs under your webserver user account and will need read access to your repo (and all of the parent directories) ### Why does cgit complain that my repo is "Not a git repository"? The most common cause of this is permission problems - see the previous faq entry for more details. The second most common cause is that you've set repo.path to point at the working-directory of your git repo - it should point at the $GITDIR, i.e. the .git directory. A less likely cause is that the repo is, infact, not a valid repo. Try to run 'git show' in the offending repo to see if git also thinks your repo has issues.
