This is an inventory of Gitea environment variables. They change Gitea behaviour.
Initialize them before Gitea command to be effective, for example:
GITEA_CUSTOM=/home/gitea/custom ./gitea web
As Gitea is written in Go, it uses some Go variables, such as:
GOOS
GOARCH
GOPATH
For documentation about each of the variables available, refer to the official Go documentation.
