Could you please elaborate on what you are suggesting? I'm not quite 
sure that I understand what I should do.

The way I am seeing it so far, as the only output of cgit in embedded 
mode is <div id="cgit">...</div>, so it is already in a container.

Should I just change all of the selectors in my copy of cgit.css to 
prepend #cgit?

Yes.

Why don't you just embed the whole cgit body in a container and use
selectors [1], [2] to make the cgit styles match elements of the cgit
interface only?

Hi,

I've been a long time user of cgit, but only recently have I attempted 
to integrate cgit into the style of the rest of my website. I have had 
some success so far, with the following configuration:

	snapshots=tar.xz tar.bz2 tar.gz tar zip
	scan-path=/var/git
	clone-prefix=git://azabani.com
	cache-root=/var/cache/cgit
	noheader=1
	embedded=1
	header=/var/www/head
	footer=/var/www/foot

Specifically, the last four options are what I've used, and this works 
quite well, but styling is an issue.

If I include cgit.css in /var/www/head, the styles in the file break 
other parts of my website, including non-cgit pages, but more 
importantly, the template itself, because the selectors being used are 
very general.

I am wondering, is it possible to prepend '#cgit ' to all of the 
selectors in cgit.css so that it can work well in an embedded environment?

Thanks,
Delan Azabani
