These templates add content to the top navbar and to the repository page. This way we do not have to copy and modify the whole template, and re-modify it after upgrading Gitea if it changes. Signed-off-by: Alberto González Palomo <bugs@sentido-labs.com>

# 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 templete syntax and
|
|
shouldn't be touched without fully understanding these components.
|
|
|
|
To add custom HTML to the header or the footer of the page, in the `templates/custom`
|
|
directory there is `header.tmpl` and `footer.tmpl` that can be modified. This can be
|
|
a useful place to add custom CSS files or additional Javascript.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Customizing gitignores, labels, licenses, locales, and readmes.
|
|
|
|
Place custom files in corresponding sub-folder under `custom/options`.
