# Specific variables
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
```
## From Go language
As Gitea is written in Go, it uses some Go variables, such as:
* `GOOS`
* `GOARCH`
* [`GOPATH`](https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-GOPATH_environment_variable)
For documentation about each of the variables available, refer to the
[official Go documentation](https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Environment_variables).
## Gitea files
* `GITEA_WORK_DIR`: Absolute path of working directory.
* `GITEA_CUSTOM`: Gitea uses `GITEA_WORK_DIR`/custom folder by default. Use this variable
to change *custom* directory.
* `GOGS_WORK_DIR`: Deprecated, use `GITEA_WORK_DIR`
* `GOGS_CUSTOM`: Deprecated, use `GITEA_CUSTOM`
## Operating system specifics
* `USER`: System user that Gitea will run as. Used for some repository access strings.
* `USERNAME`: if no `USER` found, Gitea will use `USERNAME`
* `HOME`: User home directory path. The `USERPROFILE` environment variable is used in Windows.
### Only on Windows
* `USERPROFILE`: User home directory path. If empty, uses `HOMEDRIVE` + `HOMEPATH`
* `HOMEDRIVE`: Main drive path used to access the home directory (C:)
* `HOMEPATH`: Home relative path in the given home drive path
## Macaron (framework used by Gitea)
* `HOST`: Host Macaron will listen on
* `PORT`: Port Macaron will listen on
* `MACARON_ENV`: global variable to provide special functionality for development environments
vs. production environments. If MACARON_ENV is set to "" or "development" then templates will
be recompiled on every request. For more performance, set the MACARON_ENV environment variable
to "production".
## Miscellaneous
* `SKIP_MINWINSVC`: If set to 1, do not run as a service on Windows.
