Alberto Bertogli 9b21bd6f19 style: Normal font sizes, and use monospace for listings
There's a significant amount of overrides to make the font sizes
smaller, but that can hurt readability in some cases. We should try to
use the "natural" sizes as much as possible.

This patch does that, removing a lot of the font sizes and bringing them
to be based on the normal sizes.

It also changes listings to use monospace, for readability.

git-arr - A git repository browser
----------------------------------

git-arr is a git repository browser that can generate static HTML instead of
having to run dynamically.

It is smaller, with less features and a different set of tradeoffs than
other similar software, so if you're looking for a robust and featureful git
browser, please look at gitweb or cgit instead.

However, if you want to generate static HTML at the expense of features, then
it's probably going to be useful.

It's open source under the MIT licence, please see the LICENSE file for more
information.


Getting started
---------------

You will need Python, and the bottle.py framework (the package is usually
called python-bottle in most distributions).

If pygments is available, it will be used for syntax highlighting, otherwise
everything will work fine, just in black and white.


First, create a configuration file for your repositories. You can start by
copying sample.conf, which has the list of the available options.

Then, to generate the output to "/var/www/git-arr/" directory, run:

  $ ./git-arr --config config.conf generate --output /var/www/git-arr/

That's it!

The first time you generate, depending on the size of your repositories, it
can take some time. Subsequent runs should take less time, as it is smart
enough to only generate what has changed.


You can also use git-arr dynamically, although it's not its intended mode of
use, by running:

  $ ./git-arr --config config.conf serve

That can be useful when making changes to the software itself.
