Theme for gitweb

This is an alternative theme for gitweb (tested with git web interface version 2.0.4). It is strongly inspired by GitHub.

Fullsize screenshots available on kogakure.github.io/gitweb-theme.

Installation

The installation of this stylesheet is very easy:

1. Clone the repository to a location of your choice git clone https://github.com/kogakure/gitweb-theme.git
2. Run ./setup -vi --install and your gitweb will be themed!
   • If you are on Ubuntu, then the script will default to gitweb's installation directory /usr/share/gitweb/.
   • If this is not where gitweb is located, then pass the directory to the script with the --target or -t option.
3. Of course you can just copy them to the new location too.

If you see some missing things or errors, please create a ticket or fix it and send a pull request.

Configuration file

Did you know?

Updating Gitweb can be quite time consuming because you have to adjust your settings in the gitweb.cgi. You don’t have to!.

Create a file with the name gitweb_config.perl and put it into the same directory as gitweb.cgi.

In this file you write only your custom settings and they will override the settings in gitweb.cgi like this:

$GIT = "/bin/git";
$projectroot = "/www/git/repositories";
$project_maxdepth = 2009;
$home_link_str = "Projekte";
$projects_list_group_categories = 1;
$export_ok = "GITWEB_EXPORT_OK";
$feature{'avatar'}{'default'} = ['gravatar'];
$feature{'highlight'}{'default'} = [1];

Syntax highlighting

Optionally, you can enable syntax highlighting for your code. Install the highlight package with your package manager and add this line to /etc/gitweb.conf:

$feature{'highlight'}{'default'} = [1];

Gravatar support

You can enable Gravatar support with this line:

$feature{'avatar'}{'default'} = ['gravatar'];

Categories

Gitweb and this theme support categories, which can be enabled by the following gitweb config option:

$projects_list_group_categories = true;¬

The category name for each repository is read from .git/category, in the same manner as .git/description.

Setup Script

Usage:

• ./setup [-v|-i] [-t <TARGET>|--target <TARGET>] [--install|--remove|--repair] or:
• ./setup [-V|-h|--version|--help]

This script will create symlinks to your gitweb install for themeing. The default location is /usr/share/gitweb unless set via -t or --target.

Options:

Parameter	Description
-v, --verbose	Verbose output
-i, --interactive	Pauses for confirmation at each step
-t, --target	Where to create the symlinks, gitweb installation path
-h, --help	Shows this usage message
-V, --version	Displays version information
--install	Adds '.bak' to original files and creates symlinks to theme files
--remove	Deletes themed symlinks and restores the original files.
--repair	Removes all theme files, then reinstalls
