So I posted a request on StackOverflow[0], worded like so:
So I just installed cgit on a shared host. I custom compiled it and use
symlinks from $HOME/mydomain-and-public-www-folder.tld/g to
$HOME/local/lib/cgit/prod to link $HOME/local/lib/cgit/${git describe} to a
build from my updated builds to test the latest version. What does this include?
[sharedhost]$ pwd
$HOME/local/lib/cgit/prod
[sharedhost]$ ls
.htaccess cgit.cgi cgit.css cgit.png lib/
Now, that looks all nice and good on the landing page when I put in
https://mydomain.tld/g/ in the browser and I see the pretty cgit interface.
When I click any link, I get the proper repos, but all the formatting is gone
(the CSS, PNG, and JS files go bye-bye, and all the links are in the form
https://mydomain.tld/g/cgit.cgi/randomrepo.git for all the URLs. Of course all
the files in the prod path are not working, because the browser looks for
things like https://mydomain.tld/g/cgit.cgi/cgit.css instead of the needed
https://mydomain.tld/g/cgit.css. Now, this was my basic .htaccess file to get
it working.
[sharedhost]$ more .htaccess
# GIT BEGIN ###########################################################
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
Action fastcgi-script cgit.cgi
SetEnv HTTP_CGIT_CONFIG /home/username/local/lib/cgit/cgit-conf/cgitrc

I have tried a whole bunch of Rewrite patterns recommended like this [1] or
that [2]. I am relatively new to more advanced .htaccess rules, so can someone
point on how to remove cgit.cgi from the URLs with mod-rewrite and ensure css
and png files in the same directory are accessible and QSA/query strings are
handled properly. Sorry for the long post. I thought more detail would show why
the obvious how-tos on this were not working for me.
[1] Remove 'index.php' from URL with .htaccess
[2] htaccess remove subdirectory from url
I have tried the first recommended solution, amongst many many others
while reading Apache httpd docs, and I feel I must be missing something.
Can someone point out to me how to properly get a .htaccess file to
remove cgit.cgi even with it in the same directory as underlying
component files? I wanted to bundle my compilation of cgit in one place
as I had to change some variables for my shared host, and I wanted to
keep up with development of cgit. Any thoughts?
