# Customizing Gitea
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main way to customize Gitea is by using the `custom` folder. This is the central place to override and configure features.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you install Gitea from binary, after the installation process ends, you can find the `custom` folder next to the binary.
|
||
|
|
Gitea will create the folder for you and prepopulate it with a `conf` folder inside, where Gitea stores all the configuration settings provided through the installation steps (have a look [here](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/) for a complete list).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you can't find the `custom` folder next to the binary, please check the `GITEA_CUSTOM` environment variable, that can be used to override the default path to something else. `GITEA_CUSTOM` might be set for example in your launch script file. Please have a look [here](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/specific-variables/) for a complete list of environment variables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note** that you have to restart Gitea for it to notice the changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Customizing /robots.txt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make Gitea serve your own `/robots.txt` (by default, an empty 404 status is served), simply create a file called `robots.txt` in the `custom` folder with the [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://your-gitea-url/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 you to change every single page of Gitea.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need to be aware of the template you want to change. All templates can be found in the `templates` folder of the Gitea sources.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you find the correct .tmpl file, you need to copy it in the `custom/templates` folder of your installation, __respecting__ any subfolder you found in the source template.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can now customize the template you copied in `custom/templates`, being carefully to not break the Gitea syntax.
|
||
|
|
Any statement contained inside `{{` and `}}` are Gitea templete's syntax and shouldn't be touch, unless you know what are you doing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Customizing gitignores, labels, licenses, locales, and readmes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Place your own files in corresponding sub-folder under `custom/options`.
