Hi.

Can I use uHTTPd to run `git-http-backend` cgi? How do I configure it?

> **[Git - git-http-backend Documentation](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-http-backend)**

`git-http-backend` needs to be executed when a directory (`/git`) is accessed.

1. Can I alias `/git` from web root to `/usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend`? The [uHTTPd documentation](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/webserver/uhttpd) doesn't say anything about any aliases.

2. What do I set `cgi_prefix` to? `cgi-prefix` seems to be relative to web root and `/usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend` is outside that.

Thanks.
