* reuse recoverable error checks across mirror_pull * add new cases for 'cannot lock ref/not our ref' (race condition in fetch) and 'Unable to create/lock" * move lfs sync right after commit graph write, and before other maintenance which may fail * try a prune for 'broken reference' as well as 'not our ref' * always sync LFS right after commit graph write, and before other maintenance which may fail This handles a few cases where our very large and very active repositories could serve mirrored git refs, but be missing lfs files: ## Case 1 (multiple variants): Race condition in git fetch There was already a check for 'unable to resolve reference' on a failed git fetch, after which a git prune and then subsequent fetch are performed. This is to work around a race condition where the git remote tells Gitea about a ref for some HEAD of a branch, then fails a few seconds later because the remote branch was deleted, or the ref was updated (force push). There are two more variants to the error message you can get, but for the same kind of race condition. These *may* be related to the git binary version Gitea has access to (in my case, it was 2.48.1). ## Case 2: githttp.go can serve updated git refs before it's synced lfs oids There is probably a more aggressive refactor we could do here to have the cat-file loop use FETCH_HEAD instead of relying on the commit graphs to be committed locally (and thus serveable to clients of Gitea), but a simple reduction in the occurrences of this for me was to move the lfs sync block immediately after the commit-graph write and before any other time-consuming (or potentially erroring/exiting) blocks. --------- Co-authored-by: wxiaoguang <wxiaoguang@gmail.com>
Gitea
Purpose
The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service.
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 from Gogs since November of 2016, but a lot has changed.
For online demonstrations, you can visit demo.gitea.com.
For accessing free Gitea service (with a limited number of repositories), you can visit gitea.com.
To quickly deploy your own dedicated Gitea instance on Gitea Cloud, you can start a free trial at cloud.gitea.com.
Documentation
You can find comprehensive documentation on our official documentation website.
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
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, the required version is defined in go.mod.make frontend
which requires Node.js LTS 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.
More info: https://docs.gitea.com/installation/install-from-source
Using
After building, a binary file named gitea
will be generated in the root of the source tree by default. To run it, use:
./gitea web
Note
If you're interested in using our APIs, we have experimental support with documentation.
Contributing
Expected workflow is: Fork -> Patch -> Push -> Pull Request
Note
- YOU MUST READ THE CONTRIBUTORS GUIDE BEFORE STARTING TO WORK ON A PULL REQUEST.
- 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.
Get more information from documentation.
Official and Third-Party Projects
We provide an official go-sdk, a CLI tool called tea and an action runner for Gitea Action.
We maintain a list of Gitea-related projects at gitea/awesome-gitea, where you can discover more third-party projects, including SDKs, plugins, themes, and more.
Communication
If you have questions that are not covered by the documentation, you can get in contact with us on our Discord server or create a post in the discourse forum.
