ui-shared: add "this commit" option to switch form

2026-09-30T06:40:29Z

Branches are grouped into their own section to make the "this commit" option visually distinct. Adding this option will result in two options being marked as selected if a branch has the same name as a commit oid. But that would cause all sorts of other problems anyway (attempting to switch to the branch would actually give you the commit, etc.), so let's not worry about that. A "permalink" link on the blob view next to the "plain" link would probably be more discoverable, but that would only work for the blob view. The switch UI is visible everywhere.

ui-tree: provide link to about page for pretty formatting

2026-09-30T06:40:29Z

We have an ongoing discussion about display filters and pretty formatting in tree view. How about providing a link to about page for pretty formatting? Signed-off-by: Christian Hesse

ui-shared: fix the Expires header on error pages

2026-09-18T11:51:15Z

page.expires is an absolute time: the normal path seeds it from page.modified and adds the relevant TTL in seconds. The error page instead assigns cache-dynamic-ttl directly, which is a count of minutes and carries no base, so every error page cgit has produced since "ui-shared: cache errors for dynamic TTL" reports Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:05 GMT five seconds past the epoch, which is the value of the default TTL read as seconds. The intent of that change was to stop errors being cached forever; the effect is that they are never cached at all, since every downstream cache is told the response was already stale. Seed the value from page.modified and scale the TTL to seconds, matching what calc_ttl() does for ordinary pages. prepare_context() sets page.modified before anything can produce an error page, so the base is always available. Add a test. The header can be checked without any date arithmetic: a TTL of zero has to reproduce Last-Modified exactly, and a non-zero one has to differ from it without falling back to the epoch.

cgit: override die routine globally

2026-03-10T21:19:00Z

We don't get any return value from compile_grep_patterns calling compile_regexp_failed, causing the default die routine to print to stderr and then for cgit to exit ungracefully. Instead override the default die routine to show a normal error page. Perhaps compile_grep_patterns ought to change upstream to return an error. But this commit here will handle future issues as well, so perhaps not a bad idea to do anyway.

ui-log: allow link following to be disabled per-repo

2026-02-24T10:49:35Z

This exists for other CPU heavy operations like blame, but doesn't for the follow functionality. Add it for that. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld

ui-shared: don't write if favicon unset

2026-02-23T23:39:05Z

Since the favicon setting defaults to "/favicon.ico", the user can only unset it with favicon=. However, that would write an empty string as the config value. Previously, such empty string always satisfied the if condition. In this case it is better to omit the entirely. Signed-off-by: Christian Barcenas Signed-off-by: Christian Hesse
