diff: pick refs from web ui

2026-08-15T15:17:12Z

Beforehand the choice between two refs in diff could not be changed from web ui (only via url query), and by default it was current and previous commit. Now it is doable with dropdown menus.

theming: include solarized.css theme addon

2026-08-01T10:50:26Z

The solarized.css includes adoption of Solarized Light/Dark themes for cgit, switching between light and dark variant depending on preferred color scheme. It is not used by default, but can be easily switched on with css directive.

logo: include svg variant for both favicon and logo

2026-08-01T06:15:38Z

The reasoning behind using svg as primary defaults is simple – at close-up it is much neater, plus svg favicon is supported since 2015 in Firefox, 2020 in Chromium, 2025 in Safari. For old browsers ico is still kept as a fallback. The svg was auto-generated using a Python script and then simplified to a path, but kept close to an original.

style: replace hardcoded color codes with css variables

2026-07-31T04:56:31Z

In order to: a) do custom theme simpler by just replacing necessary vars, b) apply this theme to filters as well; the main cgit.css file now defines CSS vars and uses them in color parameters.

licensing: add author preambles where changes were done

2026-07-31T04:38:28Z

Add a copyright for changes done by me, also note in README the nature of this repo

tests: check that a misconfigured repo.path is reported

2026-07-30T05:27:47Z

Check that a repo.path which does not exist or is not a repository is reported, for the summary page, for an unknown page name and for the ci page. cgit used to hang on these requests rather than fail, so the helper puts a deadline on each one: a regression should fail the test instead of wedging the suite.

ui-ci: let a ci-filter decide whether the tab is shown

2026-07-30T05:27:31Z

cgit cannot know whether the ref being viewed actually has a pipeline, so the "ci" tab is offered for every ref and only reveals a missing one once followed. Probing the ci system from cgit is not an option: the tab is part of the page header, so it would mean a blocking request for every page of every repository, cgit links no http client, and job pages are usually not readable anonymously. Add a ci filter instead, which receives the ref, whether it is a branch or a tag, and the expanded url, and answers with its exit status. This keeps credentials, timeouts and caching in a script, where they belong; filters/ci-jenkins.sh demonstrates all three against Jenkins' REST API. The verdict is memoized, so the filter runs once per request rather than once for the tab and again for the redirect, and it governs the page as well as the tab, so a hidden tab cannot be reached by typing the url.

ui-ci: add a "ci" tab which redirects to an external ci system

2026-07-30T05:26:52Z

Add a "ci" page which redirects to an external ci system for the ref being viewed, along with a tab for it in the repository header. The target is a url template, configurable globally or per repository, with separate settings for branches and tags because pipelines for the two commonly live at different locations: on a Jenkins multibranch pipeline a branch is at job//job/ while a tag is at job//view/tags/job/. $ref, $repo and $slug are substituted, $slug being the repository url with any ".git" suffix removed and slashes replaced by dashes, which is the shape job names usually take. An explicit repo.ci-url drops the branch and tag urls the repository would otherwise inherit from the global settings, as it could never take effect otherwise. The expansion is written to the Location header verbatim rather than through cgit_redirect(), which percent-encodes '?', '=' and '%' and would corrupt any url carrying a query string. An expansion containing CR or LF is refused so that it cannot smuggle in further headers. Signed-off-by: Saya Andy

ui-shared: don't list branches when there is no repository

2026-07-30T05:24:02Z

print_header() fills the branch switcher from the main ref store whenever ctx.repo is set. For a request which prints a page before prepare_repo_cmd() has cleared ctx.repo -- an unknown page name for a repository whose repo.path is broken, for instance -- the ref store has never been initialized, and get_main_ref_store() aborts after the response has already begun: BUG: refs.c:2301: reference backend is unknown get_main_ref_store print_header at ui-shared.c:1057 cgit_print_error_page(fmt="Invalid request") Add cgit_have_repository() to say whether the repository for this request was opened, and skip the switcher when it was not.

cgit: don't initialize notes when there is no repository

2026-07-30T05:23:33Z

prepare_repo_env() calls load_display_notes() unconditionally, even when setup_git_directory_gently() has just reported that repo.path is not a repository. init_notes() then resolves the default notes ref and dereferences the repository's hash algorithm, which is still NULL: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x18) get_oid_basic(str="refs/notes/commits", len=18) at object-name.c:688 -> if (len == r->hash_algo->hexsz && !get_oid_hex(str, oid)) { A typo in repo.path therefore took out the request. On Linux this segfaults; on macOS nothing consumes the Mach exception, so the faulting instruction is retried forever and the worker process spins at 100% CPU instead of dying. Only load the notes once a repository has been opened. prepare_repo_cmd() reports the failure immediately afterwards, so such a request now renders "Failed to open : No such file or directory".
