## Purpose

The goal of Gitea is to make the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of
setting up a self-hosted all-in-one software development service,
including Git hosting, code management, code review, issue tracking, project kanban, wiki,
team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD which can reuse GitHub Actions.

As Gitea is written in Go, it works across **all** the platforms and
architectures that are supported by Go, including Linux, macOS, FreeBSD/OpenBSD and Windows
on x86, amd64, ARM, RISC-V 64 and PowerPC architectures.

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),
or use container (docker/podman/etc) to deploy on your own server with the [official image](https://hub.docker.com/r/gitea/gitea).

## 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

See [docs/build-setup.md](docs/build-setup.md) for prerequisites
and [docs/development.md](docs/development.md) for setting up a local development environment, linting, and testing.

If you'd like to build from source or make a distribution package, see [docs/build-source.md](docs/build-source.md) for more information.

After building, you can run `./gitea web` to start the server, or `./gitea help` to see all available commands.

## 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. New to the codebase? The [development guide](docs/development.md) walks through setting up a local environment and building from source.
> 3. If you have found a vulnerability in the project, please write privately to **[email protected]**. Thanks!

## Translating

[![Crowdin](https://badges.crowdin.net/gitea/localized.svg)](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/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.
