# Customizing Gitea
The main way to customize Gitea is by using the `custom` folder. This is the central place to override and configure features.
Customizing Gitea is typically done using the `custom` folder. This is the central
place to override configuration settings, templates, etc.
If you install Gitea from binary, after the installation process ends, you can find the `custom` folder next to the binary.
Gitea will create the folder for you and prepopulate it with a `conf` folder inside, where Gitea stores all the configuration settings provided through the installation steps (have a look [here](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/) for a complete list).
If Gitea is deployed from binary, all default paths will be relative to the gitea
binary. If installed from a distribution, these paths will likely be modified to
the Linux Filesystem Standard. Gitea will create required folders, including `custom/`.
Application settings are configured in `custom/conf/app.ini`. Distributions may
provide a symlink for `custom` using `/etc/gitea/`.
If you can't find the `custom` folder next to the binary, please check the `GITEA_CUSTOM` environment variable, that can be used to override the default path to something else. `GITEA_CUSTOM` might be set for example in your launch script file. Please have a look [here](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/specific-variables/) for a complete list of environment variables.

- [Complete List](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/custom/conf/app.ini.sample)
**Note** that you have to restart Gitea for it to notice the changes.
If the `custom` folder can't be found next to the binary, check the `GITEA_CUSTOM`
environment variable; this can be used to override the default path to something else.
`GITEA_CUSTOM` might, for example, be set by an init script.

**Note:** Gitea must perform a full restart to see configuration changes.
## Customizing /robots.txt
To make Gitea serve your own `/robots.txt` (by default, an empty 404 status is served), simply create a file called `robots.txt` in the `custom` folder with the [expected contents](http://www.robotstxt.org/).

## Serving custom public files
To make Gitea serve custom public files (like pages and images), use the folder `custom/public/` as the webroot. Symbolic links will be followed.
To make Gitea serve custom public files (like pages and images), use the folder
`custom/public/` as the webroot. Symbolic links will be followed.
For example, a file `image.png` stored in `custom/public`, can be accessed with the url `http://your-gitea-url/image.png`.
For example, a file `image.png` stored in `custom/public/`, can be accessed with
the url `http://gitea.domain.tld/image.png`.
## Changing the default avatar
Place the png image at the following path: `custom/public/img/avatar_default.png`

## Customizing Gitea pages
The `custom/templates` folder allows you to change every single page of Gitea.
The `custom/templates` folder allows changing every single page of Gitea. Templates
to override can be found in the `templates` directory of Gitea source. Override by
making a copy of the file under `custom/templates` using a full path structure
matching source.
You need to be aware of the template you want to change. All templates can be found in the `templates` folder of the Gitea sources.
Any statement contained inside `{{` and `}}` are Gitea's templete syntax and
shouldn't be touched without fully understanding these components.
When you find the correct .tmpl file, you need to copy it in the `custom/templates` folder of your installation, __respecting__ any subfolder you found in the source template.
You can now customize the template you copied in `custom/templates`, being carefully to not break the Gitea syntax.
Any statement contained inside `{{` and `}}` are Gitea templete's syntax and shouldn't be touch, unless you know what are you doing.
To add in custom HTML to the header or the footer of the page, in the `templates/custom` directory there are `header.tmpl` and `footer.tmpl` that can be modified. This is useful if you want to add in custom CSS files, or additional Javascript.
