## Purpose
2017-08-29 19:27:23 -06:00
The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest, and most
painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service.
2022-07-14 05:15:35 -06:00
As Gitea is written in Go, it works across **all** the platforms and
architectures that are supported by Go, including Linux, macOS, and
Windows on x86, amd64, ARM and PowerPC architectures.
2017-08-29 19:27:23 -06:00
This project has been
2023-07-12 05:35:07 -06:00
[forked ](https://blog.gitea.com/welcome-to-gitea/ ) from
2022-07-14 05:15:35 -06:00
[Gogs ](https://gogs.io ) since November of 2016, but a lot has changed.
2015-10-29 01:21:59 -06:00
2024-05-28 19:05:07 -06:00
For online demonstrations, you can visit [demo.gitea.com ](https://demo.gitea.com ).
2023-12-21 23:20:59 -07:00
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 ).

## Building
2015-09-12 07:21:09 -06:00
2018-01-01 06:38:49 -07:00
From the root of the source tree, run:
2014-02-12 10:49:46 -07:00
2019-12-08 09:56:59 -07:00
TAGS="bindata" make build
2014-02-12 10:49:46 -07:00
2021-12-23 20:56:57 -07:00
or if SQLite support is required:
2020-01-28 19:30:02 -07:00
TAGS="bindata sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify" make build
2020-02-22 02:15:11 -07:00
The `build` target is split into two sub-targets:
2023-08-29 03:09:44 -06:00
- `make backend` which requires [Go Stable ](https://go.dev/dl/ ), the required version is defined in [go.mod ](/go.mod ).
- `make frontend` which requires [Node.js LTS ](https://nodejs.org/en/download/ ) or greater.
2020-02-22 02:15:11 -07:00
2023-08-29 03:09:44 -06:00
Internet connectivity is required to download the go and npm modules. When building from the official source tarballs which include pre-built frontend files, the `frontend` target will not be triggered, making it possible to build without Node.js.

## Translating
2022-07-27 19:22:47 -06:00
Translations are done through Crowdin. 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.
