website

This repository contains the source code for the official Gitea website — the public-facing pages people see when they visit the project's site to learn about what Gitea is and how to use it. It's essentially the marketing and documentation hub for the Gitea project, which is a self-hosted platform for managing code repositories (similar to GitHub, but one you run yourself).

The site is built using Hugo, a tool that takes written content and templates and turns them into a fast, static website — meaning the pages are pre-built rather than generated on the fly each time someone visits. Contributors write and edit content locally, preview it by running a single command, and submit changes through pull requests. Once a change is merged, the live website updates automatically.

The people most likely to use this repo are contributors who want to improve Gitea's documentation, fix a typo, or add information about new features. Someone who noticed an outdated instruction in the docs could clone the repo, make the edit, and submit a pull request. The project also offers a pre-packaged version for anyone who wants to host a copy of the site on their own infrastructure.

The project follows a straightforward contribution flow: fork the repository, make your changes, push them, and open a pull request for review. It's licensed under Apache 2.0, which is a permissive license that lets others use and modify the code freely. The README doesn't go into much detail about the site's structure or content guidelines beyond the basic workflow.
