Gitea - Git with a cup of tea

View the chinese version of this document

Purpose

The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service. Using Go, this can be done with an independent binary distribution across all platforms which Go supports, including Linux, macOS, and Windows on x86, amd64, ARM and PowerPC architectures. Want to try it before doing anything else? Do it with the online demo! This project has been forked from Gogs since 2016.11 but changed a lot.

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 1.13 or greater.
make frontend which requires Node.js 10.13 or greater.

If pre-built frontend files are present it is possible to only build the backend:

TAGS="bindata" make backend

Parallelism is not supported for these targets, so please don't include -j <num>.
