Hi all,

I changed today our git web interface from gitweb to cgit, due to seveal reasons:
- cgit is faster;
- cgit has a page cache. That helps to reduce the CPU usage while handling the pages;
- cgit is more powerful and have more options;
- gitweb is not used anymore on most projects;
- gitweb is not as well maintained as cgit.

I changed from the default .css file to a customized one, as our site uses black as the background for most things. That's said, I'm not a web designer.

I'm pretty sure that this could be improved a lot, but we lack time and manpower to do it. So, if someone with web design experience could take a look at the current cgit.css file and send us a new version or suggestions to improve it, be welcomed!

Please ping me if you fin any problems on it.

Hi,

one small thing I've noticed is that the repo links from
http://linuxtv.org/cvs.php are broken now.

Regards,
David

Thanks for noticing!

I added a rewrite rule. This way, the old URLs will still work.

http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/media_build.git/tree/README

the first time i opened that link i got an internal server error, then it shows an "empty" file (many lines, all empty).

It seems to happen for every file, even in other repos:

Fixed. A highlight filter was missing.
