# gitea-github-theme
A meticulously crafted Gitea theme that mimics the GitHub style, with numerous detailed optimizations that are difficult to fully describe in a brief introduction - welcome to experience it firsthand.
> [!TIP]
>
> For the best experience, it is recommended to use this theme with the file explorer icon plugin
> [web-file-explorer-icons](https://github.com/catppuccin/web-file-explorer-icons)
## Version Number Explanation
The theme version number is kept consistent with the Gitea version number
Gitea version number format: `1.major.minor`
Theoretically, minor version changes in Gitea do not modify the frontend layout, so the minor version of the theme is
applicable to all Gitea versions with the same major version number.
For example: Theme version `1.24.5` is applicable to Gitea versions `>=1.24.0` `<1.25.0`
Only the latest released Gitea version is maintained. Issues and PRs for other older theme versions will not be
accepted.
> Development stage theme version number format: `1.major.minor.timestamp`
## Installation
1. Download the latest CSS theme file from the release page and place it in the `gitea/public/assets/css` directory
2. Modify `gitea/conf/app.ini` and append the CSS filename without the `theme-` prefix to the end of `THEMES` under the
`[ui]` section
3. Restart Gitea
4. Check the theme in the settings
> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> Automatic color theme requires both light and dark theme files
Example: If the theme filename is `theme-github-dark.css`, add `github-dark` to the end of `THEMES`
Example `gitea/conf/app.ini`:
```ini
[ui]
THEMES = gitea-auto, gitea-light, gitea-dark, github-auto, github-light, github-dark, github-soft-dark
```
For details, please refer to the Gitea documentation
[Gitea docs](https://docs.gitea.com/next/administration/customizing-gitea#customizing-the-look-of-gitea)

## Custom CSS Variables

```css
:root {
--custom-clone-menu-width: 150px;
...
}
```

cd gitea-github-theme
