Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author	Lines
45 hours	Keep the commit-graph current in an example hook	Bryce Kwon	-1/+57
	cgit's log, blame and graph pages read commits from the commit-graph when a repository has one, and its changed path filters let a walk limited to one file skip the commits that never touched it. git gc writes a graph only now and then and starts those filters only when a write asks for them, so the hook writes a split layer with them after each push.
45 hours	Drop only the cache a push makes stale	Bryce Kwon	-28/+195
	The hook cleared every slot on a push to any repository. cgit writes the request a slot answers at its head, so the hook now reads it back and drops only the pushed repository's pages and the index. It finds the repository's url from scan-path or hooks.cgiturl, and with neither it clears everything as before.
45 hours	Pin the server configs to the releases they suit	Bryce Kwon	-1/+7
	Each names the branch it was written for and the release current at its last review, nginx 1.30.6 stable, Apache httpd 2.4.69 and lighttpd 1.4.85, as the projects' own sites listed them on 2026-10-29.
45 hours	Note that the dumb http transport is a fallback	Bryce Kwon	-3/+7
45 hours	Render the man pages that generators write	Bryce Kwon	-56/+298
	DocBook, pod2man and hand written pages leaked roff onto the page: font escapes inside no fill blocks, comments, layout escapes such as \% and \c, the colours and half line moves around DocBook's links, and the requests and macro definitions their preambles open with. Those now draw nothing, the common named characters and strings render, .EX and pod2man's .Vb read as code, a .TP tag takes a line of its own and the alternating font macros switch fonts between their arguments. Anything rarer still falls back to its text.
45 hours	Render more of the markdown seen in readmes	Bryce Kwon	-19/+131
	A line of equals signs or dashes under a paragraph now makes a heading of it, as on GitHub, instead of running into its text, and any other rule ends the paragraph. Four spaces or a tab start a code block, and an escaped pipe stays in its table cell. A link opening with two slashes or backslashes in any mix leads to another site, so it renders as text like the plain scheme relative one already did.
45 hours	Keep a readme whole past a NUL byte	Bryce Kwon	-8/+25
	cgit takes filter output through a C string sink that stops at the first NUL, so a readme holding one lost everything after it. Each NUL now shows as U+FFFD, as a browser would show it.
45 hours	Line error text up with the content	Bryce Kwon	-1/+1
	Messages such as Path not found sat 2em further in than every other block on the page.
45 hours	Offer no diff options on an octopus merge	Bryce Kwon	-1/+15
	The commit page draws no diff for a merge of three or more parents, so the options above it changed nothing.
45 hours	Bring every text colour up to WCAG AA	Bryce Kwon	-9/+14
	Muted, faint, the footer and the month and year ages fell short of 4.5:1 on the backgrounds they sit on, the row stripes and line number cells among them, and links inside sentences differed from the text around them only by colour. Each grey is now the lightest that clears 4.5:1 on its darkest background, with months stepped between weeks and years so the age fade keeps all six steps, and links in running text are underlined.
46 hours	Offer the versions as an option	Bryce Kwon	-7/+68
	enable-version-info brings back the cgit and git versions that 3a00e19 took off the footer and the generator tag, for a site that wants them, and the version 2a6726a put on the signature of patches now follows it too. It stays off by default for the reason 3a00e19 gave.
47 hours	Name the page first in every title	Bryce Kwon	-5/+46
	Summary, about, log, refs, tag and stats pages shared one title, so tabs, history and search results could not tell them apart. Titles now read page, repository and site, with root-title as the site, and the description stays in the meta description, where search engines read it.
47 hours	Mark the active tab and lines in forced colours	Bryce Kwon	-0/+13
	A forced colours palette, such as a Windows high contrast theme, drops author backgrounds, and those were the only marks on the active tab and on the lines a URL names. The user's own Highlight colour takes their place.
47 hours	Name the graph and links header cells	Bryce Kwon	-3/+7
	Both were empty, so a screen reader moving through the table announced those columns with no name. An aria-label names them without adding text to the page.
47 hours	Load the scripts with defer	Bryce Kwon	-3/+11
	A plain script in the head held up parsing until it had downloaded and run, though cgit.js only acts once the document is ready. Deferred scripts still run in the order given and before DOMContentLoaded, so a site script after cgit.js can still call window.cgit.
47 hours	Give the syntax highlight colours tokens	Bryce Kwon	-6/+13
	They were the only colours written into their rules, so a theme could not change them the way the README says it can change the rest.
47 hours	Write sizes and spacing one way	Bryce Kwon	-23/+16
	Font sizes mixed percentages with ems, several paddings and margins spelt out four values where fewer said the same, the blob and blame tables set their position in a rule of their own, and the odd rows repeated the base row background.
47 hours	Order the stylesheet by page area	Bryce Kwon	-288/+288
	Rules now run from the tokens and the base elements through the controls, the page frame, the listings, the readme, the blob and blame views, the commit page, the diff, the stats and the login form, to the media queries. Each rule moved whole, and every page renders the same in Chromium, WebKit and Firefox.
48 hours	Tidy the diff and stat options panel	Bryce Kwon	-18/+22
	Its caption sat above the box, each select took its own width, and the reload button hung indented under them. The caption is now the panel's header strip, the selects and the button share one column at the width of the widest select, and the labels lose their colons to match the commit details.
2 days	Test that every copy of the background matches	Bryce Kwon	-0/+16
2 days	Give form controls a border of 3:1 contrast	Bryce Kwon	-2/+2
	WCAG 1.4.11 asks for 3:1 where the border is what shows a field is there, and the search field has no other edge. The strong grey gives 5.7:1 on the light background and 3.2:1 on the dark one. Hover moves to the text colour so that it still shows.
2 days	Frame boxes and grids in the mid grey	Bryce Kwon	-8/+8
	The stats grid, the binary blob table and the line above a blob kept the black of the original stylesheet as the darkest grey, and the readme used the lightest, while the diffstat and diff options sat in between. Rules such as the tab bar and the header line keep the light grey.
2 days	Draw one focus ring on links and controls	Bryce Kwon	-1/+3
	Links fell back to each browser's own ring, which differs in shape and colour from one engine to the next, while selects and inputs drew the link colour ring. The repository title clips its overflow, so it gets 3px of padding, given back by a negative margin, for its ring to show whole.
2 days	Square the corners of controls, tabs and labels	Bryce Kwon	-4/+4
	The radius tokens stay, set to zero, since the README offers metrics to a theme, so a site can still round them. Zero rather than no radius at all, since WebKit's own stylesheet gives a select a radius of its own. The chevron loses its round caps and joins to match.
2 days	Drop a row background the stripes override	Bryce Kwon	-4/+0
	The stripe rules come later at the same specificity and match every row, so the logheader background never showed.
2 days	Write border shorthands in one order	Bryce Kwon	-8/+8
2 days	Share one rule between the ref labels	Bryce Kwon	-25/+10
	The five rules differed only in their colours, so a change to the shape of a label had to be made five times over.
2 days	Stop folding a tag's signature away	Bryce Kwon	-71/+8
	The fold put a click between the reader and the signature, and the browser's own disclosure marker and summary did not take the theme. The signature prints as part of the message again, as it did up to v2.9.1.
6 days	Release v2.9.2 v2.9.2	Bryce Kwon	-1/+52
6 days	Draw no diffstat table for a change to no files	Bryce Kwon	-4/+17
	The padding the table gained left an empty commit with a hollow frame where the file rows would be.
6 days	Fold a tag's signature away under its message	Bryce Kwon	-4/+94
	The armour ran on for more lines than most tag messages, as part of the message itself. git finds the signature for every kind it can sign with, so PGP, SSH and X.509 all fold the same way.
6 days	Highlight list rows on hover only under a mouse	Bryce Kwon	-13/+15
	On a touch screen the highlight stayed on whichever row was tapped last.
6 days	Say when a login fails, and line up the form	Bryce Kwon	-17/+77
	A wrong password sent the reader back to the same empty form, which looked no different from a crash. The redirect now carries a flag the form reads, the same for an unknown user as for a wrong password, and the form leaves the flag out of the way back it signs.
6 days	Colour css properties and pseudo-classes	Bryce Kwon	-30/+38
	Scintillua's css lexer tags them with names the map had no row for, so they came out as plain text.
6 days	Fade colour changes and the line highlight in	Bryce Kwon	-0/+20
	The fades are skipped for anyone who asks for reduced motion.
6 days	Brighten the logo in dark mode	Bryce Kwon	-0/+6
	Its dark red barely stood out from the dark background.
6 days	Run the blob and blame tables across the page	Bryce Kwon	-2/+2
	A short file left the rule above the code, and the highlight bar under a fragment, only as wide as its longest line.
6 days	Let a commit's labels wrap apart from its subject	Bryce Kwon	-6/+19
	The labels sat flush against the subject's last word, which made the two one unbreakable run, so a narrow cell stranded a word on its own line. A space now precedes each label and carries its gap, and a line that breaks there drops it, so a wrapped label starts flush.
6 days	Drop the comments from the stylesheet	Bryce Kwon	-11/+0
6 days	Give every summary section the same columns	Bryce Kwon	-45/+172
	The ref rows always spanned five columns and the log three to five, so with the default config the log and clone rows stopped 160px short of the table's edge, and with any config the log rows did on a phone, where they alone lost their counts. A column no cell began in also made the summary and refs pages invalid HTML.
6 days	Drop the diffstat modes on phones	Bryce Kwon	-0/+4
	The modes took a third of a phone's width, so longer paths broke at a hyphen or a slash. The tree listing already drops its mode column at that width, and the diff itself still names a mode that changed.
6 days	Pad the inside of the diffstat box	Bryce Kwon	-0/+3
	The modes in the first column sat against the box's left border. A table with collapsed borders ignores its own padding, so the box now keeps its borders separate to take some.
6 days	Draw the diffstat bars as SVG	Bryce Kwon	-28/+21
	The bars were cells spanning up to 1000 columns of a nested table, which kept them free of inline styles under a strict CSP but broke the HTML table model, 18 errors on a commit page, and left Firefox's longest bar short of the full width. An SVG canvas sized by its attributes is just as safe under a CSP, validates, and draws every bar exactly to scale.
6 days	Keep each snapshot link in one piece	Bryce Kwon	-0/+30
	On a narrow screen the download column broke a snapshot name at a hyphen or left its signature link alone on the next line. Each file and its signature now stay together, and a line breaks only between them.
6 days	Stack the commit details on narrow screens	Bryce Kwon	-8/+23
	Below 900 pixels the name, address and date of an author or committer shared one row with the diff options beside it, so each wrapped into a sliver and the name dropped below its label. Each value now stacks under its label at those widths.
6 days	Keep the tabs on one row	Bryce Kwon	-6/+76
	A window too narrow for the tabs wrapped the last of them onto a second row, held apart from the line under the others, as an iPhone showed on every repository page. The row now scrolls sideways instead, keeping the active tab in view and fading the side that hides more of them, and the tabs draw closer as the window narrows so all seven still fit at 360 pixels.
7 days	Release v2.9.1 v2.9.1	Bryce Kwon	-1/+40
7 days	Sign patches with the cgit version	Bryce Kwon	-6/+20
	git format-patch ends each patch with the version of git that wrote it, and the bare "cgit" that 3a00e19 left in its place said less. The version is written as git writes its own, without the v of the tag, so a release build signs with "cgit 2.9.0". The footer and the generator tag still leave versions out.
7 days	Set every monospace element in the theme font	Bryce Kwon	-3/+15
	Only some pre elements named --font-mono, so code in a readme took the browser's own font, Courier in Chrome and Safari, rather than a theme's.
7 days	Keep the line highlight over the lines it names	Bryce Kwon	-4/+15
	The bar was measured from the table's border edge, a pixel above where its offset counts from, and covered only the digits of each number. Its width was the part of the table in view, so scrolling a long line sideways left the highlight behind.
