# Environment variables
This is an inventory of Gitea environment variables. They change Gitea behaviour.
Initialize them before Gitea command to be effective, for example:
```sh
GITEA_CUSTOM=/home/gitea/custom ./gitea web
```
## From Go language
As Gitea is written in Go, it uses some variables that influence the behaviour of Go's runtime, such as:
- `GOMEMLIMIT`
- `GOGC`
- `GOMAXPROCS`
- `GODEBUG`
For documentation about each of the variables available, refer to the
[official Go documentation on runtime environment variables](https://pkg.go.dev/runtime#hdr-Environment_Variables).
## Gitea files
- `GITEA_WORK_DIR`: Absolute path of working directory.
- `GITEA_CUSTOM`: Gitea uses `WorkPath`/custom folder by default. Use this variable to change _custom_ directory.
## 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
## Miscellaneous
- `SKIP_MINWINSVC`: If set to 1, do not run as a service on Windows.
