I have some files stored in a web server, which serves the files using apache like this:

![enter image description here

Now, I'm planning to move all these folders to a GitLab repository, the problem is that GitLab is slow (please do not offer to use GitHub, I have certainly checked that alternative) and so I don't want to use GitLab's default way of showing files, instead, I want something similar as the apache way of showing files, as a static page, to use it as a GitLab page, so that I would be able to download and see the structure of my repo, but fast.

I wouldn't mind if I have to run a command to produce this static HTML page before each commit I make, but it would be cool to know that it exists, otherwise, I would have to create it (using python, for example), but of course, I would prefer an already created wheel instead of rediscover mine.

Thank you.

You could consider generating a page in markdown, with your Git repo (repository) structure content, and then publish it on the wiki side of your (here GitLab) project.

See "Is there a way to represent a directory tree in a Github README.md?" as an example, except you don't want to use your own repo README.md, but rather the wiki, in order to keep the repo and its representation (on wiki) independent .

  • Thank you, I appreciate your effort, this is useful in some situations, but my project could have thousands of files within just a single folder, so it would not be so easy to manage as a simple folder structure, but I'll consider it if I don't find anything more similar to what I'm looking for, thank you! – Dariel Rudt Oct 05 '17 at 13:05

    @DarielRudt Then you could still generate a markdown page, this time, one per folder, each one published on the wiki, with a page structure imitating your folder structure. – VonC Oct 05 '17 at 13:42
