Interesing that no one mentions cgit,[0] even though Linus and kernel developers moved away from the default (it comes with git itself) Gitweb Perl CGI Library a while ago.[1]
Cgit is pretty impressive stuff as a frontend. I am sure it is a mess[2] (since people here constantly gawk and harp on people bold enough to do the following), but it is merely a giant C program handling CGI with built-in caching, and it is pretty damn efficient. It is crazy fast. I used to run it on a shared host, and boy was I impressed.
Give it a look when you have a chance. You would be surprised how many large FOSS groups (if I recall correctly, I see the UI at OpenOffice, GNOME, KDE, and FreeDesktop umbrella groups).

- johnchristopher 13y agoWhat a coincidence. I found out about cgit 30 minutes ago when looking for `pulseaudio-module-raop2`/ I was wondering about the CSS theming that gitweb instance so I looked at the source and cgit is now being compiled.
