Frequently Asked Questions-------------------------- This is a compilation of frequently asked questions on the cgit mailinglist. If you've got a cgit problem and cannot find an answer here, pleasesend a request to cgit@lists.zx2c4.com (and consider sending a patch to thecgit wiki branch to update this faq if you get a nice answer to yourquestion). The project also maintains the #cgit channel on Libera.Chat. ### Why doesn't cgit find/show my repo? This is most likely due to permission problems: cgit runs under yourwebserver user account and will need read access to your repo (and allof 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 previousfaq entry for more details. The second most common cause is that you've set repo.path to point at theworking-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. Tryto run 'git show' in the offending repo to see if git also thinks yourrepo has issues.  ### Why is the idle time for my repository wrong? By default CGit uses the modification time of the default branch's reffile as a quick method of determining when the repository was lastchanged.  If you primarily work on other branches then this work willnot be reflected in the idle time. You can use a post-receive hook to run a script that tells CGit thecorrect modification time by writing to ``info/web/last-modified``.  Anexample is provided in the CGit repository at``contrib/hooks/post-receive.agefile``.
