A Vim colorscheme based on Github's syntax highlighting as of 2018.
I wasn't happy with endel/vim-github-colorscheme, as it was out of date.
It degrades gracefully in non-gui mode (ie ctermbg/ctermfg/256colors).
It supports the following plugins:
airline,
lightline,
fzf,
GitGutter,
NERDTree,
Startify,
sneak,
and :terminal
.
Extra tuning has been done for the following languages: Vim script, Markdown, Pandoc Markdown (vim-pandoc-syntax) Diff, C, Rust, Go (fatih/vim-go), Haskell (neovimhaskell/haskell-vim), Ruby, Python, HTML, XML, TOML, YAML, Clojure, Typescript, (leafgarland/vim-typescript), JSX/TSX (MaxMEllon/vim-jsx-pretty),.
Install with your favourite plugin manager. For vim-plug:
Plug 'cormacrelf/vim-colors-github'
Then set your colorscheme to 'github':
" in your .vimrc or init.vim
colorscheme github
" if you use airline / lightline
let g:airline_theme = "github"
let g:lightline = { 'colorscheme': 'github' }
Place before the colorscheme github
:
" use a slightly darker background, like GitHub inline code blocks
let g:github_colors_soft = 1
" use the dark theme
set background=dark
" more blocky diff markers in signcolumn (e.g. GitGutter)
let g:github_colors_block_diffmark = 0
:help github_colors.txt
There is a built-in background toggler that does this. Make a mapping for it like so:
call github_colors#togglebg_map('<f5>')
