Theme

It supports theme. The default one shipped in resources/default is borrowed from wigit.

You can absolutely compose your own flavored themes:

• view.html - the view page
• edit.html - the edit page
• history.html - the history page
• style.css - the style

Authentication

HTTP Basic Authentication is employed.

To create or update user and password, use htpasswd:

htpasswd -s gitwiki.user USERNAME
