This is my fork of Sainnhe Park's Gruvbox Material theme. I left the master branch alone and use dev-cfs branch for my personal settings. I wanted something just a little more contrasty with a little darker background than the normal hard/dark version.

Here is a screenshot of my init.vim with the original material hard/dark theme on the left and my updated hard/dark theme on the right.

You can install it using package managers just like the instructions for the regular installs but with a flag for my branch.

with vim-plug:

Plug 'cfsanderson/gruvbox-material', {'branch': 'dev-cfs'}

or with Lua using Packer:

use { 'cfsanderson/gruvbox-material',  branch = 'dev-cfs' }

These are the settings that I use:

let g:gruvbox_material_background = 'hard'
let g:gruvbox_material_enable_italic = 1
let g:gruvbox_material_disable_italic_comment = 0
let g:gruvbox_material_menu_selection_background = 'green'
let g:gruvbox_material_palette = 'material'
let g:gruvbox_material_sign_column_background = 'none'

colorscheme gruvbox-material
set background=dark

All credit goes to Sainhe Park. All I did was update a few hex values because I'm a picky designer type. Enjoy.
