Bit also supports some visualization customization.If you don’t like the default theme, or you are using a portable terminal theme, you can reverse the “bit” theme by exporting BIT_THEME=inverted, Or use a monochrome theme BIT_THEME=monochrome. It does not seem to support custom color themes.

The tool has been used for less than 2 months, so many other features are planned, such as support for gitmoji commit messages, command history, Kitt Town Integration, bit undo Either bit fix Commands and so on.
