This guide offers the least time-consuming way of setting up Nginx for serving Git repositories over HTTP using Gitweb. The stuff here has been tested with Git 1.9.1 and Nginx 1.6.0 on Debian Wheezy. Probably also works for Ubuntu, etc.
Total time ~ 10 minutes.
Enable wheezy-backports
by adding this line to /etc/apt/sources.list
:
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main
