stagit
======
static git page generator

-----
mkdir -p htmldir
cd htmldir
stagit path-to-repo

$ mkdir -p htmldir && cd htmldir
$ stagit path-to-repo

$ stagit-index repodir1 repodir2 repodir3 > index.html
Install
-------
$ make
# doas make install
Dependencies
------------
- libgit2 (v0.22+).
- C compiler
- make
Documentation

$ man stagit
$ man stagit-index
Features
--------
- Log of all commits.
- Log and diffstat per commit.
- Show file tree.
- Detect README and LICENSE file to make a webpage.
- Atom feed git log.
- Make index page for multiple repositories.
- Show file tree with linkable line numbers.
- Detect README and LICENSE file from HEAD and link it as a webpage.
- Atom feed log.
- Make index page for multiple repositories with stagit-index.
- After generating the pages (relatively slow) serving the files is very fast,
simple and requires little resources (because the content is static), only
a HTTP file server is required.
Cons
----
- Not suitable for large repositories (2000+ commits).
- Not suitable for repositories with many branches, a quite linear history is assumed.
- Relatively slow to run the first time (about 3 seconds for sbase, 1500+ commits),
incremental updates after it are faster.
