# GitTally Configuration Reference
GitTally is configured via YAML files. Settings are merged from two sources in order — later layers override earlier ones.
## Config File Locations
| Layer | Path | Committed to Git | Purpose |
|--------------------------|----------------------------|------------------|----------------------------------------------|
| Project config | `.gittally.yml` | Yes | Shared team settings |
| Repo installation config | `.git/gittally/.gittally.yml` | No | Machine- or user-specific overrides, secrets |
The repo install config (`.git/gittally/.gittally.yml`) wins on any key present in both files. Typically used to set `git.token` and `git.account` without committing them.
## Inspect the Effective Config
```bash
java -jar build/libs/gittally-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar config:print # only explicitly set values
java -jar build/libs/gittally-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar config:print --full # all values including defaults
```
## `.gittally.yml`
Values shown are the defaults.
```yaml
server:
# Public base URL of this GitTally installation — used for all links posted to Gitea.
publicBaseUrl: https://ci.example.org/
# HTTP port of the `server` subcommand (default 18080, like legacy)
port: 18080
# bind address of the `server` subcommand
bindAddress: 0.0.0.0
# optional Impressum (legal disclosure) link in the web UI footer; empty hides the link
impressumUrl: ""
# Gitea integration for fetching commits and posting build statuses.
gitea:
baseUrl: https://git.example.org # base URL of the Gitea instance
owner: my-org # repository owner (user or organisation) for Gitea API (e.g. status checks)
repo: my-repo # repository name
statusContext: GitTally # label shown on Gitea commit status checks (default: GitTally)
# Build execution.
builds:
# How many branches may build at the same time.
# At most one build per branch runs regardless; each branch builds in its own
# git worktree under .git/gittally/worktrees/, never in the primary checkout.
# Changing this value requires a restart.
maxConcurrent: 1
# Build artifact storage and retention.
artifacts:
# Root directory for stored build artifacts.
# Empty means the platform default: $XDG_STATE_HOME (or ~/.local/state) plus /gittally/artifacts/<repo-key>,
# where <repo-key> is the sanitized absolute repository path.
# A leading ~/ expands to the home directory; a relative path is resolved against the repository.
rootDir: ""
# number of builds to keep per branch
retentionPerBranch: 3
# Controls the branch-polling loop.
watcher:
# delay between poll cycles; suffixes s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days)
pollInterval: 10s
# max commit age for new origin branches to be pulled automatically
newBranchMaxAge: 5d
# Per-branch build configuration.
# Use "default" as the fallback for all branches not listed explicitly.
# Each entry merges build settings and auto-build scheduling.
branches:
default:
# run before each build
cleanCommand: rm -rf build
# shell command for each build
buildCommand: ./gradlew --console=plain --no-daemon test
# directories copied as build artifacts
artifactDirs:
- build/reports
- build/doc
stdoutLog: build.stdout.log # filename for captured stdout
stderrLog: build.stderr.log # filename for captured stderr
autoBuild:
enabled: false # whether to rebuild on schedule
times: ["01:00"] # UTC times HH:MM for scheduled builds
# Optional Docker build runtime; when enabled, the clean and build commands
# run inside a container instead of natively (see notes below).
docker:
# run clean/build commands in a Docker container
enabled: false
# image for the build container; required when enabled
image: ""
# Dockerfile to (re)build the image from when it is missing or stale; empty pulls the image as-is
dockerfile: ""
# Docker build context used with dockerfile
context: "."
# Docker network mode for the build container; empty = Docker default
network: ""
# additional environment variables set inside the build container
env: {}
main:
autoBuild:
enabled: true
master:
autoBuild:
enabled: true
release:
buildCommand: ./gradlew --console=plain --no-daemon --no-build-cache test jacocoReport
autoBuild:
enabled: true
times:
- "04:00"
```
### Notes on `branches.<name>.docker`
With `docker.enabled`, GitTally shells out to the `docker` CLI; the `docker` command must be on the `PATH`.
When `dockerfile` is set, the image is (re)built whenever the Dockerfile content, its path, or the context path changed.
Staleness is tracked via the image label `org.gittally.build-inputs-sha256`.
A Gradle cache volume `gittally-gradle-<repo-key>` is created per repository and mounted as `GRADLE_USER_HOME`.
The build worktree is bind-mounted into the container; after each command the ownership of `build/` and `.gradle/` is repaired to the host user.
The Docker socket is mounted into the container and `DOCKER_HOST`/`TESTCONTAINERS_*` variables are set, so Testcontainers-based builds work inside the container.
All GitTally containers carry `org.hoennig.gittally` labels; stale build containers of the repository are removed before the first Docker build after a restart.
## `.git/gittally/.gittally.yml` (not committed)
```yaml
# Machine- or user-specific overrides and secrets. Keys here win over .gittally.yml.
git:
account: my-user # technical username for git HTTPS authentication
token: glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # Gitea API token — never commit this
```
