Awhile ago I set up my own git server. I’ve been hacking happily using that and Eclipse. In my spare time, I’ve been taking UCSD’s wonderful algorithm course: Algorithmic Design and Techniques. The course provides plenty of programming challenges! I chose the paid version so my code can be evaluated against all tests in the grading server. I solved the programming challenges in 3 languages: Java, Python, and C++. It has been so much fun!
Anyway, I thought it’d be nice to enable a web front end to my own code hosted on my own server. There are a lot of choices: gitweb, gitlab, gitea, etc. A couple of days ago I came across cgit. It’s pretty lightweight, written in C. That’s what I chose for that task. It’s setup now already, please go to https://code.haidongji.com to check it out!
It takes a bit of work to get the clean subdomain working. My environment is Debian 9 running apache2. Below were steps taken to make my environment work. Hope it helps somebody!

# enable Pygments syntax highlighting. Must be above scan-path, otherwise it would not work!
source-filter=/usr/lib/cgit/filters/syntax-highlighting.py
scan-path=/srv/git[/code]
Note that in /etc/cgitrc, syntax highlighting line MUST BE ABOVE the scan-path line, otherwise syntax highlighting will not work!
Cheers and happy coding!
