|
||||
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`
|

## 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)

**NOTE:** Many of the following directories can be configured using [Environment Variables]({{< relref "doc/advanced/specific-variables.en-us.md" >}}) as well!
|

Of note, configuring `GITEA_WORK_DIR` will tell Gitea where to base its working directory, as well as ease installation.

### Configure Gitea's working directory
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE:** If you plan on running Gitea as a Linux service, you can skip this step as the service file allows you to set `WorkingDirectory`. Otherwise, consider setting this environment variable (semi-)permanently so that Gitea consistently uses the correct working directory.

||||
```
|

export GITEA_WORK_DIR=/var/lib/gitea/

## Running Gitea

After the above steps, two options to run Gitea are:

||||
### 1. Creating a service file to start Gitea automatically (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
See how to create [Linux service]({{< relref "run-as-service-in-ubuntu.en-us.md" >}})
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Running from command-line/terminal
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GITEA_WORK_DIR=/var/lib/gitea/ /usr/local/bin/gitea web -c /etc/gitea/app.ini
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating to a new version
|
||||
|
||||
You can update to a new version of gitea by stopping gitea, replacing the binary at `/usr/local/bin/gitea` and restarting the instance.
