Usage

Global options

All global options can be placed at the command level.

  • --help, -h: Show help text and exit. Optional.

  • --custom-path path, -C path: Location of the Gitea custom folder. Optional. (default: AppWorkPath/custom or $GITEA_CUSTOM).
  • --config path, -c path: Gitea configuration file path. Optional. (default: custom/conf/app.ini).
  • --work-path path, -w path: Gitea AppWorkPath. Optional. (default: LOCATION_OF_GITEA_BINARY or $GITEA_WORK_DIR)

NB: The defaults custom-path, config and work-path can also be changed at build time (if preferred).
