# Customizing Gitea
|
|
|
|
Customizing Gitea is typically done using the `custom` folder. This is the central
|
|
place to override configuration settings, templates, etc.
|
|
|
|
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 create required folders, including `custom/`.
|
|
Application settings are configured in `custom/conf/app.ini`. Distributions may
|
|
provide a symlink for `custom` using `/etc/gitea/`.
|
|
|
|

|
|
- [Complete List](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/custom/conf/app.ini.sample)
|
|
|
|
If the `custom` folder can't be found next to the binary, 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 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` directory of Gitea source. 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.
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
## 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`.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
