diff: show the default from ref in the refs panel

2026-09-08T03:07:45Z

By default a diff against a ref is shown as that ref against its parent, but the refs panel left the from picker empty, so the controls described a different diff than the page showed. When no from ref is given, preselect the to ref with one extra commit back, which is the parent of the (stepped) to rev, and reuse the same values in the flip link.

diff: allow stepping back N commits from the selected refs

2026-09-07T17:11:57Z

The ref pickers can only select the exact ref that is shown. Add an offset input next to each picker (idoff and id2off), whose value is the number of commits to step back, so any ancestor of a branch or tag can be compared without typing a rev into the url by hand. An apply button submits the values typed there, since text inputs cannot be auto-submitted on their own; the flip link swaps the offsets along with the refs, and the file-level links carry them through. By default both offsets are empty, meaning the selected refs themselves. An empty ref submitted from the form is likewise treated as no ref instead of triggering a bad object name error.

diff: add a flip link to the refs panel

2026-09-07T13:26:15Z

The from and to refs of a diff can only be swapped by editing the url by hand. Add a flip link to the refs panel that opens the same diff with the refs swapped, carrying the current head and options.

diff: split refs and other options into separate panels

2026-09-07T07:35:13Z

The diff controls panel mixed the from/to ref pickers with the rendering options (context, space, mode). Split it into two panels, stacked vertically: one for the refs and one for the other options, so each groups related controls.

diff: pick refs from web ui

2026-08-15T15:17:12Z

Beforehand the choice between two refs in diff could not be changed from web ui (only via url query), and by default it was current and previous commit. Now it is doable with dropdown menus.

tests: check that a misconfigured repo.path is reported

2026-07-30T05:27:47Z

Check that a repo.path which does not exist or is not a repository is reported, for the summary page, for an unknown page name and for the ci page. cgit used to hang on these requests rather than fail, so the helper puts a deadline on each one: a regression should fail the test instead of wedging the suite.

ui-ci: let a ci-filter decide whether the tab is shown

2026-07-30T05:27:31Z

cgit cannot know whether the ref being viewed actually has a pipeline, so the "ci" tab is offered for every ref and only reveals a missing one once followed. Probing the ci system from cgit is not an option: the tab is part of the page header, so it would mean a blocking request for every page of every repository, cgit links no http client, and job pages are usually not readable anonymously. Add a ci filter instead, which receives the ref, whether it is a branch or a tag, and the expanded url, and answers with its exit status. This keeps credentials, timeouts and caching in a script, where they belong; filters/ci-jenkins.sh demonstrates all three against Jenkins' REST API. The verdict is memoized, so the filter runs once per request rather than once for the tab and again for the redirect, and it governs the page as well as the tab, so a hidden tab cannot be reached by typing the url.

ui-ci: add a "ci" tab which redirects to an external ci system

2026-07-30T05:26:52Z

Add a "ci" page which redirects to an external ci system for the ref being viewed, along with a tab for it in the repository header. The target is a url template, configurable globally or per repository, with separate settings for branches and tags because pipelines for the two commonly live at different locations: on a Jenkins multibranch pipeline a branch is at job//job/ while a tag is at job//view/tags/job/. $ref, $repo and $slug are substituted, $slug being the repository url with any ".git" suffix removed and slashes replaced by dashes, which is the shape job names usually take. An explicit repo.ci-url drops the branch and tag urls the repository would otherwise inherit from the global settings, as it could never take effect otherwise. The expansion is written to the Location header verbatim rather than through cgit_redirect(), which percent-encodes '?', '=' and '%' and would corrupt any url carrying a query string. An expansion containing CR or LF is refused so that it cannot smuggle in further headers. Signed-off-by: Saya Andy

tests: t0107: support older and/or non-GNU tar

2020-12-29T20:06:17Z

The untar tests for various compression algorithms use shortcut options from GNU tar to handle decompression. These options may not be provided by non-GNU tar nor even by slightly older GNU tar versions which ship on many systems. An example of the latter case is the --zstd option. This was added in GNU tar-1.32 (2019-02-23)¹. This version of tar is not provided by CentOS/RHEL, in particular. In Debian, --zstd has been backported to the tar-1.30 release. Avoid the requirement on any specific implementations or versions of tar by piping decompressed output to tar. This is compatible with older GNU tar releases as well as tar implementations from other vendors. (It may also be a slight benefit that this more closely matches what the snapshot creation code does.) ¹ Technically, the --zstd option was first released in tar-1.31 (2019-01-02), but this release was very short-lived and is no longer listed on the GNU Tar release page.

tests: try with commit-graph

2020-10-21T22:04:10Z

Git 2.24.0 enabled commit-graph by default and caused crashes without necessary update. Let's test to work with commit-graph. Signed-off-by: Christian Hesse
