diff: show the default from ref in the refs panel

2026-09-08T03:07:45Z

By default a diff against a ref is shown as that ref against its parent, but the refs panel left the from picker empty, so the controls described a different diff than the page showed. When no from ref is given, preselect the to ref with one extra commit back, which is the parent of the (stepped) to rev, and reuse the same values in the flip link.

diff: allow stepping back N commits from the selected refs

The ref pickers can only select the exact ref that is shown. Add an offset input next to each picker (idoff and id2off), whose value is the number of commits to step back, so any ancestor of a branch or tag can be compared without typing a rev into the url by hand. An apply button submits the values typed there, since text inputs cannot be auto-submitted on their own; the flip link swaps the offsets along with the refs, and the file-level links carry them through. By default both offsets are empty, meaning the selected refs themselves. An empty ref submitted from the form is likewise treated as no ref instead of triggering a bad object name error.

diff: add a flip link to the refs panel

2026-09-07T13:26:15Z

The from and to refs of a diff can only be swapped by editing the url by hand. Add a flip link to the refs panel that opens the same diff with the refs swapped, carrying the current head and options.

diff: split refs and other options into separate panels

2026-09-07T07:35:13Z

The diff controls panel mixed the from/to ref pickers with the rendering options (context, space, mode). Split it into two panels, stacked vertically: one for the refs and one for the other options, so each groups related controls.

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.
