**gogh-theme** is a [base16](https://github.com/tinted-theming/home) scheme
repository for **Gogh**, a dark theme built from an existing kitty config. It
generates themed configs for kitty and Neovim from one 16-color palette, and
ships as an installable Neovim colorscheme.

## Layout

| Path | Contents |
|---|---|
| `schemes/gogh.yaml` | The palette (`base00`–`base0F`): the single source of truth |
| `templates/` | Mustache templates for kitty and the Neovim colorscheme |
| `colors/gogh.lua`, `lua/base16-colorscheme.lua` | The generated Neovim colorscheme |
| `base16-builder-php/` | Submodule that renders scheme + template |
| `base16-spectrum-generator/` | Submodule that renders the palette preview |

## Building

```
$ ./build.sh
```

It renders every template against every scheme into `output/`, copies the
Neovim colorscheme into `colors/`, and renders the palette image. CI runs it on
every push and commits the results, so plugin managers that clone `main` get
`colors/*.lua` without building.

Adding a theme is adding a `schemes/<name>.yaml` and rerunning `build.sh`.
