Gitweb look and feel

Question

I've recently installed git with Gitweb. Gitweb seems like a nice simple interface which does just what we need it to do. Problem is it looks very ugly. It looks as if it's just a cgi script with a static folder containing all the css and images.

I was thinking of tinkering with the css and cgi script to see how I could change the appearance of it. I wanted to know if anyone has had experience with doing the same and how did you go?

Alternatively does anyone know of any nice alternative Gitweb solutions that I can dload and hook up to my git?

Answer 1

You can edit gitweb style by editing his files in /usr/share/gitweb List of the files :

• gitweb.cgi
• static/gitweb.css
• static/gitweb.js
• static/git-logo.png
• static/git-favicon.png

You can also searched for themes like this one for more themes there is Google

Answer 2

How about Gitblit? It has a Gitweb feel.
