git: more elegant handling of installed pre/post-receive hook failing on direct repo access
The hook would fail with a long backtrace when get_hook_environment raise an error exception.
Instead, as first thing in the entry point from the hook, catch that situation
and report it nicely before "quietly" skipping the hook:
[mk@here myrepo]$ git push
Enumerating objects: 3, done.
Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 204 bytes | 204.00 KiB/s, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: Skipping Kallithea Git post-recieve hook 'hooks/post-receive'.
remote: Git was apparently not invoked by Kallithea: Environment variable KALLITHEA_EXTRAS not found
To /tmp/somerepo
* [new branch] master -> master
[mk@here myrepo]$
We could be paranoid and let it (and the pre hook) fail ... but that doesn't
seem helpful.

=============
Customization
=============
There are several ways to customize Kallithea to your needs depending on what
you want to achieve.
HTML/JavaScript/CSS customization
---------------------------------
To customize the look-and-feel of the web interface (for example to add a
company banner or some JavaScript widget or to tweak the CSS style definitions)
you can enter HTML code (possibly with JavaScript and/or CSS) directly via the
*Admin > Settings > Global > HTML/JavaScript customization
block*.
Style sheet customization with Less
-----------------------------------
Kallithea uses `Bootstrap 3`_ and Less_ for its style definitions. If you want
to make some customizations, we recommend to do so by creating a ``theme.less``
file. When you create a file named ``theme.less`` in directory
``kallithea/front-end/`` inside the Kallithea installation, you can use this
file to override the default style. For example, you can use this to override
``@kallithea-theme-main-color``, ``@kallithea-logo-url`` or other `Bootstrap
variables`_.
After creating the ``theme.less`` file, you need to regenerate the CSS files, by
running::
kallithea-cli front-end-build --no-install-deps
.. _bootstrap 3: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/
.. _bootstrap variables: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/customize/#less-variables
.. _less: http://lesscss.org/
Behavioral customization: rcextensions
--------------------------------------
Some behavioral customization can be done in Python using ``rcextensions``, a
custom Python package that can extend Kallithea functionality.
With ``rcextensions`` it's possible to add additional mappings for Whoosh
indexing and statistics, to add additional code into the push/pull/create/delete
repository hooks (for example to send signals to build bots such as Jenkins) and
even to monkey-patch certain parts of the Kallithea source code (for example
overwrite an entire function, change a global variable, ...).
To generate a skeleton extensions package, run::
kallithea-cli extensions-create -c my.ini
This will create an ``rcextensions`` package next to the specified ``ini`` file.
See the ``__init__.py`` file inside the generated ``rcextensions`` package
for more details.
Behavioral customization: code changes
--------------------------------------
As Kallithea is open-source software, you can make any changes you like directly
in the source code.
We encourage you to send generic improvements back to the
community so that Kallithea can become better. See :ref:`contributing` for more
details.
