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. This project has been [forked](https://blog.gitea.com/welcome-to-gitea/) from [Gogs](https://gogs.io) since November of 2016, but a lot has changed. 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). ## 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 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. 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.

If you have found a vulnerability in the project, please write privately to **security@gitea.io**. Thanks! ## Translating 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. https://docs.gitea.com/contributing/localization [![Crowdin](https://badges.crowdin.net/gitea/localized.svg)](https://crowdin.com/project/gitea) ## Further information For more information and instructions about how to install Gitea, please look at our [documentation](https://docs.gitea.com/). If you have questions that are not covered by the documentation, you can get in contact with us on our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/Gitea) or create a post in the [discourse forum](https://forum.gitea.com/). We maintain a list of Gitea-related projects at [gitea/awesome-gitea](https://gitea.com/gitea/awesome-gitea). The official Gitea CLI is developed at [gitea/tea](https://gitea.com/gitea/tea). ## Authors - [Maintainers](https://github.com/orgs/go-gitea/people) - [Contributors](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/graphs/contributors) - [Translators](options/locale/TRANSLATORS) ## Backers Thank you to all our backers! 🙏 [[Become a backer](https://opencollective.com/gitea#backer)] <a href="https://opencollective.com/gitea#backers" target="_blank"><img src="https://opencollective.com/gitea/backers.svg?width=890"></a> ## Sponsors Support this project by becoming a sponsor.
