GitHub-Dark is a userstyle that transforms GitHub’s interface into a coherent dark theme, covering repositories, issues, pull requests, gists, and profile pages. Distributed as a CSS stylesheet intended for the Stylus browser extension, it applies a comprehensive palette, rebalances contrast, and refines syntax colors for code views to ensure readability in low-light settings. The project goes beyond simple inversion by thoughtfully adjusting backgrounds, borders, badges, and diff highlights so the UI feels native rather than “flipped.” It includes targeted fixes for edge cases across GitHub’s many subpages, aiming for consistency while preserving the information hierarchy of the original design. Users can apply the theme selectively, override variables, or combine it with other userstyles to fit personal preference. Even with GitHub’s own theme options, GitHub-Dark remains a carefully tuned alternative for people who want a specific aesthetic or more granular control.
