Late last year, I played around with git to extract the UI source tree into a separate git repository. The aim was to facilitate easier experimentation with UI-specific changes, and to make it easier for me and others to create alternative UIs.
I’ve since made the repository available on my github account.
At a later date I will document what I did to extract the ui code from the repository, and determine how to keep it up to date with the upstream code.
Basic development instructions are in https://github.com/WithoutPants/stash-webui/blob/main/DEVELOPMENT.md. The built UI can be used in stash by setting the environment variable ui_location before running stash.
Let me know if this is something you’re interested in playing with, or if there’s stuff I can do to improve it.
