# Customizing Gitea
|
|
|
|
Customizing Gitea is typically done using the `CustomPath` folder - by default this is
|
|
the `custom` folder from the running directory, but may be different if your build has
|
|
set this differently. This is the central place to override configuration settings,
|
|
templates, etc. You can check the `CustomPath` using `gitea help`. You can override
|
|
the `CustomPath` by setting either the `GITEA_CUSTOM` environment variable or by
|
|
using the `--custom-path` option on the `gitea` binary. (The option will override the
|
|
environment variable.)
|
|
|
|
If Gitea is deployed from binary, all default paths will be relative to the Gitea
|
|
binary. If installed from a distribution, these paths will likely be modified to
|
|
the Linux Filesystem Standard. Gitea will attempt to create required folders, including
|
|
`custom/`. Distributions may provide a symlink for `custom` using `/etc/gitea/`.
|
|
|
|
Application settings can be found in file `CustomConf` which is by default,
|
|
`CustomPath/conf/app.ini` but may be different if your build has set this differently.
|
|
Again `gitea help` will allow you review this variable and you can override it using the
|
|
`--config` option on the `gitea` binary.

|
|
- [Complete List](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/custom/conf/app.ini.sample)
|
|
|
|
If the `CustomPath` folder can't be found despite checking `gitea help`, check the `GITEA_CUSTOM`
|
|
environment variable; this can be used to override the default path to something else.
|
|
`GITEA_CUSTOM` might, for example, be set by an init script.
|
|
|
|
- [List of Environment Variables](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/specific-variables/)
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Gitea must perform a full restart to see configuration changes.
|
|
|
|
## Customizing /robots.txt
|
|
|
|
To make Gitea serve a custom `/robots.txt` (default: empty 404), create a file called
|
|
`robots.txt` in the `custom` folder (or `CustomPath`) with
|
|
[expected contents](http://www.robotstxt.org/).
|
|
|
|
## Serving custom public files
|
|
|
|
To make Gitea serve custom public files (like pages and images), use the folder
|
|
`custom/public/` as the webroot. Symbolic links will be followed.
|
|
|
|
For example, a file `image.png` stored in `custom/public/`, can be accessed with
|
|
the url `http://gitea.domain.tld/image.png`.
|
|
|
|
## Changing the default avatar
|
|
|
|
Place the png image at the following path: `custom/public/img/avatar_default.png`
|
|
|
|
## Customizing Gitea pages
|
|
|
|
The `custom/templates` folder allows changing every single page of Gitea. Templates
|
|
to override can be found in the [`templates`](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/master/templates) directory of Gitea source (Note: the example link is from `master` branch. Make sure to copy templates from same release you are using). Override by
|
|
making a copy of the file under `custom/templates` using a full path structure
|
|
matching source.
|
|
|
|
Any statement contained inside `{{` and `}}` are Gitea's template syntax and
|
|
shouldn't be touched without fully understanding these components.
|
|
|
|
### Customizing startpage / homepage
|
|
|
|
Copy [`home.tmpl`](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/templates/home.tmpl) for your version of Gitea from `templates` to `custom/templates`.
|
|
Edit as you wish.
|
|
Dont forget to restart your gitea to apply the changes.
|
|
|
|
### Adding links and tabs
|
|
|
|
If all you want is to add extra links to the top navigation bar, or extra tabs to the repository view, you can put them in `extra_links.tmpl` and `extra_tabs.tmpl` inside your `custom/templates/custom/` directory.
|
|
|
|
For instance, let's say you are in Germany and must add the famously legally-required "Impressum"/about page, listing who is responsible for the site's content:
|
|
just place it under your "custom/public/" directory (for instance `custom/public/impressum.html`) and put a link to it in `custom/templates/custom/extra_links.tmpl`.
|
|
|
|
To match the current style, the link should have the class name "item", and you can use `{{AppSubUrl}}` to get the base URL:
|
|
`<a class="item" href="{{AppSubUrl}}/impressum.html">Impressum</a>`
|
|
|
|
You can add new tabs in the same way, putting them in `extra_tabs.tmpl`.
|
|
The exact HTML needed to match the style of other tabs is in the file
|
|
`templates/repo/header.tmpl`
|
|
([source in GitHub](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/templates/repo/header.tmpl))
|
|
|
|
### Other additions to the page
|
|
|
|
Apart from `extra_links.tmpl` and `extra_tabs.tmpl`, there are other useful templates you can put in your `custom/templates/custom/` directory:
|
|
|
|
- `header.tmpl`, just before the end of the `<head>` tag where you can add custom CSS files for instance.
|
|
- `body_outer_pre.tmpl`, right after the start of `<body>`.
|
|
- `body_inner_pre.tmpl`, before the top navigation bar, but already inside the main container `<div class="full height">`.
|
|
- `body_inner_post.tmpl`, before the end of the main container.
|
|
- `body_outer_post.tmpl`, before the bottom `<footer>` element.
|
|
- `footer.tmpl`, right before the end of the `<body>` tag, a good place for additional Javascript.
|
|
|
|
## Customizing Gitea mails
|
|
|
|
The `custom/templates/mail` folder allows changing the body of every mail of Gitea.
|
|
Templates to override can be found in the
|
|
[`templates/mail`](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/master/templates/mail)
|
|
directory of Gitea source.
|
|
Override by making a copy of the file under `custom/templates/mail` using a
|
|
full path structure matching source.
|
|
|
|
Any statement contained inside `{{` and `}}` are Gitea's template
|
|
syntax and shouldn't be touched without fully understanding these components.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Adding Analytics to Gitea
|
|
|
|
Google Analytics, Matomo (previously Piwik), and other analytics services can be added to Gitea. To add the tracking code, refer to the `Other additions to the page` section of this document, and add the JavaScript to the `custom/templates/custom/header.tmpl` file.
|
|
|
|
## Customizing gitignores, labels, licenses, locales, and readmes.
|
|
|
|
Place custom files in corresponding sub-folder under `custom/options`.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** The files should not have a file extension, e.g. `Labels` rather than `Labels.txt`
|
|
|
|
### gitignores
|
|
|
|
To add custom .gitignore, add a file with existing [.gitignore rules](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore) in it to `custom/options/gitignore`
|
|
|
|
### Labels
|
|
|
|
To add a custom label set, add a file that follows the [label format](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/options/label/Default) to `custom/options/label`
|
|
`#hex-color label name ; label description`
|
|
|
|
### Licenses
|
|
|
|
To add a custom license, add a file with the license text to `custom/options/license`
|
|
|
|
### Locales
|
|
|
|
Locales are managed via our [crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/gitea).
|
|
You can override a locale by placing an altered locale file in `custom/options/locale`.
|
|
Gitea's default locale files can be found in the [`options/locale`](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/master/options/locale) source folder and these should be used as examples for your changes.
|
|
|
|
To add a completely new locale, as well as placing the file in the above location, you will need to add the new lang and name to the `[i18n]` section in your `app.ini`. Keep in mind that Gitea will use those settings as **overrides**, so if you want to keep the other languages as well you will need to copy/paste the default values and add your own to them.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[i18n]
|
|
LANGS = en-US,foo-BAR
|
|
NAMES = English,FooBar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Locales may change between versions, so keeping track of your customized locales is highly encouraged.
|
|
|
|
### Readmes
|
|
|
|
To add a custom Readme, add a markdown formatted file (without an `.md` extension) to `custom/options/readme`
|
|
|
|
### Reactions
|
|
|
|
To change reaction emoji's you can set allowed reactions at app.ini
|
|
```
|
|
[ui]
|
|
REACTIONS = +1, -1, laugh, confused, heart, hooray, eyes
|
|
```
|
|
A full list of supported emoji's is at [emoji list](https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea.com/issues/8)
|
|
|
|
## Customizing the look of Gitea
|
|
|
|
As of version 1.6.0 Gitea has built-in themes. The two built-in themes are, the default theme `gitea`, and a dark theme `arc-green`. To change the look of your Gitea install change the value of `DEFAULT_THEME` in the [ui](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/#ui-ui) section of `app.ini` to another one of the available options.
|
|
As of version 1.8.0 Gitea also has per-user themes. The list of themes a user can choose from can be configured with the `THEMES` value in the [ui](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/#ui-ui) section of `app.ini` (defaults to `gitea` and `arc-green`, light and dark respectively)
