With these additions, you can create links between changes
and Rational Team Concert™ work items and view and traverse existing links.

About this task
Do these steps for each Gitweb server that you want to
integrate with the adapter.
Important: In adapter
software 1.1 or earlier the ./rlia folder was
named ./static folder in the Gitweb server directory.
Procedure
- Go to the folder location where you installed the adapter.
For example, JazzInstallDir/server/conf/gitAdapter
- Find the gitwebAdditions-yyyymmdd-hhmm.zip file.
- Uncompress the gitwebAdditions-yyyymmdd-hhmm.zip file
to your Gitweb installation folder.
For example, /usr/share/gitweb
Warning: If you are using a custom site header (etc/GitwebSiteHeader),
a custom style sheet (etc/GitwebSite.css) or
both, you must merge or replace these files with the ones provided.
Extracting the compressed file adds several files to
the./rlia folder.
- To add the Gitweb additions to the Gitweb server, from
the ./rlia folder, run gitweb_setup.sh with
the -i command.
The -i command
performs the initial configuration of the Gitweb additions. The parameter --adapter_url is
the root URL to the Rational® Adapter
for Git. The parameter --git_conf_loc is the
location of the gitweb.conf file on the Gitweb
server. For more information about these parameters, see gitweb_setup.sh in
the ./rlia folder of the Gitweb server directory.
Tip: You can run the gitweb_setup.sh script
without defining a command and its parameters. The gitweb_setup.sh script
when first run, prompts you for the command, either -i to
deploy the Gitweb additions, -r to register the
Gitweb server, or --hook to deploy the receive
hook for Gitweb. When you run the script with the command, for example, gitweb_setup.sh -i,
the script prompts you for the required parameters.
./rlia/gitweb_setup.sh -i --adapter_url https://your.git.adapter.server.com:9443/gitAdapter --git_conf_loc /etc/gitweb.conf
Results
The adapter Gitweb additions are deployed to the Gitweb server.
