Backport #25330 # The problem There were many "path tricks": * By default, Gitea uses its program directory as its work path * Gitea tries to use the "work path" to guess its "custom path" and "custom conf (app.ini)" * Users might want to use other directories as work path * The non-default work path should be passed to Gitea by GITEA_WORK_DIR or "--work-path" * But some Gitea processes are started without these values * The "serv" process started by OpenSSH server * The CLI sub-commands started by site admin * The paths are guessed by SetCustomPathAndConf again and again * The default values of "work path / custom path / custom conf" can be changed when compiling # The solution * Use `InitWorkPathAndCommonConfig` to handle these path tricks, and use test code to cover its behaviors. * When Gitea's web server runs, write the WORK_PATH to "app.ini", this value must be the most correct one, because if this value is not right, users would find that the web UI doesn't work and then they should be able to fix it. * Then all other sub-commands can use the WORK_PATH in app.ini to initialize their paths. * By the way, when Gitea starts for git protocol, it shouldn't output any log, otherwise the git protocol gets broken and client blocks forever. The "work path" priority is: WORK_PATH in app.ini > cmd arg --work-path > env var GITEA_WORK_DIR > builtin default The "app.ini" searching order is: cmd arg --config > cmd arg "work path / custom path" > env var "work path / custom path" > builtin default ## ⚠️ BREAKING If your instance's "work path / custom path / custom conf" doesn't meet the requirements (eg: work path must be absolute), Gitea will report a fatal error and exit. You need to set these values according to the error log. |

Gitea - Git with a cup of tea
Purpose
The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service.
As Gitea is written in Go, it works across all the platforms and architectures that are supported by Go, including Linux, macOS, and Windows on x86, amd64, ARM and PowerPC architectures. You can try it out using the online demo. This project has been forked from Gogs since November of 2016, but a lot has changed.
Building
From the root of the source tree, run:
TAGS="bindata" make build
or if SQLite support is required:
TAGS="bindata sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify" make build
The build
target is split into two sub-targets:
make backend
which requires Go Stable, required version is defined in go.mod.make frontend
which requires Node.js LTS or greater and Internet connectivity to download npm dependencies.
When building from the official source tarballs which include pre-built frontend files, the frontend
target will not be triggered, making it possible to build without Node.js and Internet connectivity.
Parallelism (make -j <num>
) is not supported.
More info: https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-source/
Using
./gitea web
NOTE: If you're interested in using our APIs, we have experimental support with documentation.
Contributing
Expected workflow is: Fork -> Patch -> Push -> Pull Request
NOTES:
- YOU MUST READ THE CONTRIBUTORS GUIDE BEFORE STARTING TO WORK ON A PULL REQUEST.
- If you have found a vulnerability in the project, please write privately to security@gitea.io. Thanks!
Translating
Translations are done through Crowdin. If you want to translate to a new language ask one of the managers in the Crowdin project to add a new language there.
You can also just create an issue for adding a language or ask on discord on the #translation channel. If you need context or find some translation issues, you can leave a comment on the string or ask on Discord. For general translation questions there is a section in the docs. Currently a bit empty but we hope to fill it as questions pop up.
