## Purpose
2017-08-30 01:27:23 +00:00
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 11:15:35 +00:00
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.
2017-08-30 01:27:23 +00:00
This project has been
2023-07-12 11:35:07 +00:00
[forked ](https://blog.gitea.com/welcome-to-gitea/ ) from
2022-07-14 11:15:35 +00:00
[Gogs ](https://gogs.io ) since November of 2016, but a lot has changed.
2015-10-29 07:21:59 +00:00
2024-05-27 15:05:12 +00:00
For online demonstrations, you can visit [demo.gitea.com ](https://demo.gitea.com ).
2023-12-22 06:20:59 +00:00
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 13:21:09 +00:00
2018-01-01 13:38:49 +00:00
From the root of the source tree, run:
2014-02-12 17:49:46 +00:00
2019-12-08 16:56:59 +00:00
TAGS="bindata" make build
2014-02-12 17:49:46 +00:00
2021-12-24 03:56:57 +00:00
or if SQLite support is required:
2020-01-29 02:30:02 +00:00
TAGS="bindata sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify" make build
2020-02-22 09:15:11 +00:00
The `build` target is split into two sub-targets:
2023-08-29 09:09:44 +00:00
- `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 09:15:11 +00:00
2023-08-29 09:09:44 +00:00
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
2022-07-28 01:22:47 +00:00
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.
