 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 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.
 | ||
| This project has been
 | ||
| [forked](https://blog.gitea.com/welcome-to-gitea/) from
 | ||
| [Gogs](https://gogs.io) since November of 2016, but a lot has changed.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| For online demonstrations, you can visit [demo.gitea.com](https://demo.gitea.com).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| For accessing free Gitea service (with a limited number of repositories), you can visit [gitea.com](https://gitea.com/user/login).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| To quickly deploy your own dedicated Gitea instance on Gitea Cloud, you can start a free trial at [cloud.gitea.com](https://cloud.gitea.com).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## Documentation
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| You can find comprehensive documentation on our official [documentation website](https://docs.gitea.com/).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| It includes installation, administration, usage, development, contributing guides, and more to help you get started and explore all features effectively.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| If you have any suggestions or would like to contribute to it, you can visit the [documentation repository](https://gitea.com/gitea/docs)
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 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](https://go.dev/dl/), the required version is defined in [go.mod](/go.mod).
 | ||
| - `make frontend` which requires [Node.js LTS](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) or greater and [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Internet connectivity is required to download the go and npm modules. 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.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| More info: https://docs.gitea.com/installation/install-from-source
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## Using
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| After building, a binary file named `gitea` will be generated in the root of the source tree by default. To run it, use:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|     ./gitea web
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > [!NOTE]
 | ||
| > If you're interested in using our APIs, we have experimental support with [documentation](https://docs.gitea.com/api).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## Contributing
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Expected workflow is: Fork -> Patch -> Push -> Pull Request
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > [!NOTE]
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > 1. **YOU MUST READ THE [CONTRIBUTORS GUIDE](CONTRIBUTING.md) BEFORE STARTING TO WORK ON A PULL REQUEST.**
 | ||
| > 2. If you have found a vulnerability in the project, please write privately to **security@gitea.io**. Thanks!

| ## Translating
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| [](https://translate.gitea.com)
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Translations are done through [Crowdin](https://translate.gitea.com). 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.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Get more information from [documentation](https://docs.gitea.com/contributing/localization).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## Official and Third-Party Projects
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| We provide an official [go-sdk](https://gitea.com/gitea/go-sdk), a CLI tool called [tea](https://gitea.com/gitea/tea) and an [action runner](https://gitea.com/gitea/act_runner) for Gitea Action.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| We maintain a list of Gitea-related projects at [gitea/awesome-gitea](https://gitea.com/gitea/awesome-gitea), where you can discover more third-party projects, including SDKs, plugins, themes, and more.

| ## FAQ
 | ||

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Gitea is pronounced [/ɡɪ’ti:/](https://youtu.be/EM71-2uDAoY) as in "gi-tea" with a hard g.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| **Why is this not hosted on a Gitea instance?**

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| In the [release log](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases) or the [change log](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md), search for the keyword `SECURITY` to find the security patches.
