About this Theme

Hacker is GitHub’s terminal-aesthetic official theme β€” green text on a black background, monospace type throughout, and the unmistakable look of a classic command-line interface. It’s the most distinctive of the official themes and immediately signals a technical, developer identity.

As an official GitHub Pages theme, setup is a single line in _config.yml. It’s a popular choice for security researchers, CTF writeups, developer portfolios, and any project that wants to wear its technical credentials visually.

Who is it for? Developers, security researchers, and technical writers who want their site to look like it was built by someone who knows their way around a terminal.
