Edit file workflow for creating a fork and proposing changes (#34240)
When viewing a file that the user can't edit because they can't write to
the branch, the new, upload, patch, edit and delete functionality is no
longer disabled.

If no user fork of the repository exists, there is now a page to create one.
It will automatically create a fork with a single branch matching the one
being viewed, and a unique repository name will be automatically picked.

When a fork exists, but it's archived, a mirror or the user can't write
code to it, there will instead be a message explaining the situation.

If the usable fork exists, a message will appear at the top of the edit page
explaining that the changes will be applied to a branch in the fork. The
base repository branch will be pushed to a new branch to the fork, and
then the edits will be applied on top.

The suggestion to fork happens when accessing /_edit/, so that for
example online documentation can have an "edit this page" link to
the base repository that does the right thing.

Also includes changes to properly report errors when trying to commit
to a new branch that is protected, and when trying to commit to an
existing branch when choosing the new branch option.

Resolves #9017, #20882

Gitea

Contribute with Gitpod

繁體中文 | 简体中文

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

  1. YOU MUST READ THE CONTRIBUTORS GUIDE BEFORE STARTING TO WORK ON A PULL REQUEST.
  2. If you have found a vulnerability in the project, please write privately to security@gitea.io. Thanks!

Translating

Crowdin

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.
