# Hacking on Gitea
|
|
|
|
Familiarity with the existing [installation instructions](https://golang.org/doc/install)
|
|
is required for this section.
|
|
|
|
To contribute to Gitea, fork the project and work on the `master` branch.
|
|
|
|
Some internal packages are referenced using their respective Github URL. This can
|
|
become problematic. To "trick" the Go tool into thinking this is a clone from the
|
|
official repository, download the source code using "go get" and follow these instructions.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go get -d code.gitea.io/gitea
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Fork the [Gitea repository](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea) on GitHub, it should
|
|
then be possible to switch the source directory on the command line.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/code.gitea.io/gitea
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To be able to create pull requests, the forked repository should be added as a remote
|
|
to the Gitea sources, otherwise changes can't be pushed.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git remote rename origin upstream
|
|
git remote add origin git@github.com:<USERNAME>/gitea.git
|
|
git fetch --all --prune
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This should provide a working development environment for Gitea. Take a look at
|
|
the `Makefile` to get an overview about the available tasks. The most common tasks
|
|
should be `make test` which will start our test environment and `make build` which
|
|
will build a `gitea` binary into the working directory. Writing test cases is not
|
|
mandatory to contribute, but it is highly encouraged and helps developers sleep
|
|
at night.
|
|
|
|
That's it! You are ready to hack on Gitea. Test changes, push them to the repository,
|
|
and open a pull request.
