Download
You can obtain the latest version of this extension, as well as its tags and branches, using git:
git clone git://github.com/JeroenDeDauw/Gitweb.git
Alternatively you can get one of the release packages. You can also get a snapshot of the latest code, but beware, this might be unstable.
Installation
Once you have downloaded the code, place the Gitweb directory within your MediaWiki 'extensions' directory. Then add the following code to your LocalSettings.php file:
