 * On Ubuntu, the `www-data` user's $HOME is `/var/www`, and by default it's owned by root.
   That means you might have to do this before installing Redmine: `sudo mkdir /var/www/.ssh; sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/.ssh`
 
+## Configuration
+
+The plugin offers two configuration options:
+
+* Local Repository Path (git_local_path) - Path, where repositories are created on the local system. This defaults to `REDMINE_PLUGINS_PATH/redmine_git_remote/repos`.
+* Remote Repository Url Prefix - Default Prefix of the Remote Repository. The Default Prefix for Remote Repositories, defaults to an empty value. If this value is set, this prefix is shown in the Clone URL field of a repository by default, but can be overwritten by the user (eg. https://github.com/).

+The above configuration can be found at `Administration -> Plugins -> Redmine Git Remote -> Config`. Furthermore for initial values, the file `redmine_git_remote/conf/settings.yml` can be used.

 For example, if you enter `https://github.com/dergachev/vagrant-vbox-snapshot` as the Clone URL,

 * Identifier: `vagrant-vbox-snapshot`
-* Path: `REDMINE_PLUGINS_PATH/redmine_git_remote/repos/github.com/dergachev/vagrant-vbox-snapshot`

 Once the remote URL is validated, the plugin creates an [empty clone](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/895819/whats-the-most-straightforward-way-to-clone-an-empty-bare-git-repository) at the specified path.
