The appearance API allows you to maintain the appearance of GitLab as if
|
|
you're using the GitLab UI at `/admin/appearance`. The API requires
|
|
administrator privileges.
|
|
|
|

|
|
```shell
|
|
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/application/appearance"
|
|
```

## Change logo

`file=` parameter must point to an image file on your file system and be
|
|
preceded by `@`.
