The original cgit theme is pretty ugly! I've created a nicer look with pretty much the original structure of cgit, and it uses the catppuccin color scheme!

Check out cgit-catppuccin if you want to have the beautiful catppuccin theme on your git server too. (You can see the theme in action at https://git.vidhukant.com/.)

How do I use it?

The default styling is catppuccin mocha. To get it to work, you can simply curl this URL, and save it to /usr/share/cgit/cgit.css

If you want to use any of the other flavors, just edit this file and uncomment the color scheme you want. For syntax highlighting and markdown styling, check out the steps listed over at the repository.
