I proposed this change a while ago, but it didn't seem to get much attention. Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong. It would be nice to be able to configure the default page to use for the root site and repositories. For example, it might make more sense to have "about" or "tree" as the default landing page for certain repos, instead of the default "summary". This patch introduces the following configuration settings: - "root-default-page": sets the default page for the root site (defaults to "repolist") - "repo.default-page": sets the default page for individual repos (defaults to "summary") - "default-page": global default value for "repo.default-page" The following accessory changes were required to make this work: - the "index" tab link on root pages and the "summary" tab link on repo pages now explicitly point to their respective targets instead of pointing to the site/repo root - trying to access the "about" page on a repository without one results in being redirected to the "summary" page explicitly The following changes since commit 8fc0c81bbbed21ee30e8a48b2ab1066a029b7b32: git: update to v2.23.0 (2019-10-25 11:40:17 +0200) are available in the Git repository at: https://git.monade.li/cgit for you to fetch changes up to 1431881898ba6044bfd3ae12cc45fb5fcadf80c7: Make default pages configurable (2019-12-09 19:38:14 +0100) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Na?m Favier (1): Make default pages configurable cgit.c | 10 ++++++++++ cgit.h | 3 +++ cgitrc.5.txt | 14 ++++++++++++++ cmd.c | 18 +++++++++--------- ui-repolist.c | 2 +- ui-shared.c | 12 +++++++++--- ui-shared.h | 2 ++ 7 files changed, 48 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-)
I would find this feature useful as well.

It is useful indeed, I use it for my public site <https://git.sdxlive.com/> since it was proposed. But it appears that making it to the cgit git sources as a commit is a different story. Maybe the admin(s) could share the policies which make a patch eligible to the commit status on the master branch, such as: - being useful to the community - having passed some thorough functional tests - having passed some thorough security tests - ... What about adding an official development branch?.
