Enable markdownlint no-duplicate-header ()
Duplicate headers in a single Markdown document are problemlematic
because the auto-generated links won't be stable. Enable this rule with
no exceptions which is also the default of `markdownlint`. For example:

```md
# A
## Example
# B
## Example
```
Docasaurus will generated `example` and `example-1` links for this. If
the first heading is altered, the link `example` will unexpectedly move
to the second example heading.

Embedded data extraction tool

Gitea's executable contains all the resources required to run: templates, images, style-sheets and translations. Any of them can be overridden by placing a replacement in a matching path inside the custom directory (see Customizing Gitea).

To obtain a copy of the embedded resources ready for editing, the embedded command from the CLI can be used from the OS shell interface.

NOTE: The embedded data extraction tool is included in Gitea versions 1.12 and above.

Listing resources

To list resources embedded in Gitea's executable, use the following syntax:

gitea embedded list [--include-vendored] [patterns...]

The --include-vendored flag makes the command include vendored files, which are normally excluded; that is, files from external libraries that are required for Gitea (e.g. octicons, etc).

A list of file search patterns can be provided. Gitea uses gobwas/glob for its glob syntax. Here are some examples:

  • List all template files, in any virtual directory: **.tmpl
  • List all mail template files: templates/mail/**.tmpl
  • List all files inside public/assets/img: public/assets/img/**

Don't forget to use quotes for the patterns, as spaces, * and other characters might have a special meaning for your command shell.

If no pattern is provided, all files are listed.

Example: Listing all embedded files

Listing all embedded files with openid in their path:

$ gitea embedded list '**openid**'
public/assets/img/auth/openid_connect.svg
public/assets/img/openid-16x16.png
templates/user/auth/finalize_openid.tmpl
templates/user/auth/signin_openid.tmpl
templates/user/auth/signup_openid_connect.tmpl
templates/user/auth/signup_openid_navbar.tmpl
templates/user/auth/signup_openid_register.tmpl
templates/user/settings/security_openid.tmpl

Extracting resources

To extract resources embedded in Gitea's executable, use the following syntax:

gitea [--config {file}] embedded extract [--destination {dir}|--custom] [--overwrite|--rename] [--include-vendored] {patterns...}

The --config option tells Gitea the location of the app.ini configuration file if it's not in its default location. This option is only used with the --custom flag.

The --destination option tells Gitea the directory where the files must be extracted to. The default is the current directory.

The --custom flag tells Gitea to extract the files directly into the custom directory. For this to work, the command needs to know the location of the app.ini configuration file (--config) and, depending of the configuration, be ran from the directory where Gitea normally starts. See Customizing Gitea for details.

The --overwrite flag allows any existing files in the destination directory to be overwritten.

The --rename flag tells Gitea to rename any existing files in the destination directory as filename.bak. Previous .bak files are overwritten.

At least one file search pattern must be provided; see list subcomand above for pattern syntax and examples.

Important notice

Make sure to only extract those files that require customization. Files that are present in the custom directory are not upgraded by Gitea's upgrade process. When Gitea is upgraded to a new version (by replacing the executable), many of the embedded files will suffer changes. Gitea will honor and use any files found in the custom directory, even if they are old and incompatible.

Example: Extracting mail templates

Extracting mail templates to a temporary directory:

$ mkdir tempdir
$ gitea embedded extract --destination tempdir 'templates/mail/**.tmpl'
Extracting to tempdir:
tempdir/templates/mail/auth/activate.tmpl
tempdir/templates/mail/auth/activate_email.tmpl
tempdir/templates/mail/auth/register_notify.tmpl
tempdir/templates/mail/auth/reset_passwd.tmpl
tempdir/templates/mail/issue/assigned.tmpl
tempdir/templates/mail/issue/default.tmpl
tempdir/templates/mail/notify/collaborator.tmpl
