# Embedded data extraction tool
|
|
|
|
Gitea's executable contains all the resources required to run: templates, images, style-sheets
|
|
and translations. Any of them can be overridden by placing a replacement in a matching path
|
|
inside the `custom` directory (see [Customizing Gitea](administration/customizing-gitea.md)).
|
|
|
|
To obtain a copy of the embedded resources ready for editing, the `embedded` command from the CLI
|
|
can be used from the OS shell interface.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** The embedded data extraction tool is included in Gitea versions 1.12 and above.
|
|
|
|
## Listing resources
|
|
|
|
To list resources embedded in Gitea's executable, use the following syntax:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
gitea embedded list [--include-vendored] [patterns...]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `--include-vendored` flag makes the command include vendored files, which are
|
|
normally excluded; that is, files from external libraries that are required for Gitea
|
|
(e.g. [octicons](https://octicons.github.com/), etc).
|
|
|
|
A list of file search patterns can be provided. Gitea uses [gobwas/glob](https://github.com/gobwas/glob)
|
|
for its glob syntax. Here are some examples:
|
|
|
|
- List all template files, in any virtual directory: `**.tmpl`
|
|
- List all mail template files: `templates/mail/**.tmpl`
|
|
- List all files inside `public/img`: `public/img/**`
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to use quotes for the patterns, as spaces, `*` and other characters might have
|
|
a special meaning for your command shell.
|
|
|
|
If no pattern is provided, all files are listed.
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
Listing all embedded files with `openid` in their path:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ gitea embedded list '**openid**'
|
|
public/img/auth/openid_connect.svg
|
|
public/img/openid-16x16.png
|
|
templates/user/auth/finalize_openid.tmpl
|
|
templates/user/auth/signin_openid.tmpl
|
|
templates/user/auth/signup_openid_connect.tmpl
|
|
templates/user/auth/signup_openid_navbar.tmpl
|
|
templates/user/auth/signup_openid_register.tmpl
|
|
templates/user/settings/security_openid.tmpl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Extracting resources
|
|
|
|
To extract resources embedded in Gitea's executable, use the following syntax:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
gitea [--config {file}] embedded extract [--destination {dir}|--custom] [--overwrite|--rename] [--include-vendored] {patterns...}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `--config` option tells Gitea the location of the `app.ini` configuration file if
|
|
it's not in its default location. This option is only used with the `--custom` flag.
|
|
|
|
The `--destination` option tells Gitea the directory where the files must be extracted to.
|
|
The default is the current directory.
|
|
|
|
The `--custom` flag tells Gitea to extract the files directly into the `custom` directory.
|
|
For this to work, the command needs to know the location of the `app.ini` configuration
|
|
file (`--config`) and, depending of the configuration, be ran from the directory where
|
|
Gitea normally starts. See [Customizing Gitea](administration/customizing-gitea.md) for details.
|
|
|
|
The `--overwrite` flag allows any existing files in the destination directory to be overwritten.
|
|
|
|
The `--rename` flag tells Gitea to rename any existing files in the destination directory
|
|
as `filename.bak`. Previous `.bak` files are overwritten.
|
|
|
|
At least one file search pattern must be provided; see `list` subcomand above for pattern
|
|
syntax and examples.
|
|
|
|
### Important notice
|
|
|
|
Make sure to **only extract those files that require customization**. Files that
|
|
are present in the `custom` directory are not upgraded by Gitea's upgrade process.
|
|
When Gitea is upgraded to a new version (by replacing the executable), many of the
|
|
embedded files will suffer changes. Gitea will honor and use any files found
|
|
in the `custom` directory, even if they are old and incompatible.
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
Extracting mail templates to a temporary directory:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ mkdir tempdir
|
|
$ gitea embedded extract --destination tempdir 'templates/mail/**.tmpl'
|
|
Extracting to tempdir:
|
|
tempdir/templates/mail/auth/activate.tmpl
|
|
tempdir/templates/mail/auth/activate_email.tmpl
|
|
tempdir/templates/mail/auth/register_notify.tmpl
|
|
tempdir/templates/mail/auth/reset_passwd.tmpl
|
|
tempdir/templates/mail/issue/assigned.tmpl
|
|
tempdir/templates/mail/issue/default.tmpl
|
|
tempdir/templates/mail/notify/collaborator.tmpl
|
|
```
