Gruvbox is a retro groove color scheme for Emacs. It is a port of the Vim version originally by Pavel Pertsev found here.

Pavel's version has evolved since this version was made, and now includes a light version, and other changes. Syntax highlighting is applied differently in the Vim version too.

We are in the process of adding a light version and we'll also try to add a version which maps syntax closer to the current Vim Gruvbox.

We won't be changing the main Emacs Gruvbox theme, because there's a lot of people who've been using it for a few years, and we don't want to mess with their preferences.

Installation and usage

The recommended way to install the Gruvbox theme is with MELPA.

MELPA

If you're an Emacs 24 user or you have a recent version of package.el you can install the Gruvbox theme from the MELPA repository. The version of gruvbox-theme there will always be up-to-date.

No package.el

The following instructions are for in the case where you don't have access to package.el for some reason.

1. Download gruvbox-theme.el, and put it in ~/.emacs.d/themes. For example:

   curl https://raw.github.com/Greduan/emacs-theme-gruvbox/master/gruvbox-theme.el > ~/.emacs.d/themes/gruvbox-theme.el

2. Tell Emacs where to find themes in your init.el or .emacs file:

   (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/.emacs.d/themes")

3. Enable the theme:

   M-x load-theme RET gruvbox
   

   Or add the following to your init.el or .emacs file to load the theme at startup:

   (load-theme 'gruvbox t)
