+# Configuration Cheat Sheet
+
+This is a cheat sheet for the Gitea configuration file. It is helpful for more fully understanding how it powers Gitea.
+
+Before getting started, make sure you know that any change to the configuration should be made in `custom/conf/app.ini` or any corresponding location.
+
+All default settings can be found in [app.ini.sample](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/custom/conf/app.ini.sample) (replace master in URL with name of tag for released versions). If you see anything which looks like `%(X)s`, it is a feature powered by [ini](https://github.com/go-ini/ini/#recursive-values) for reading values recursively.
+
+Any configuration option that is marked by :exclamation: means that you should keep the default value unless you fully understand what you are doing.
+
+Values containing `#` or `;` must be quoted using `` ` `` or `"""`.
+
+**Note** that you have to restart Gitea for changes to take effect.
+
+## Overall (`DEFAULT`)
+
+- `APP_NAME`: Application name, change to whatever you want.
+- `RUN_USER`: The user to run Gitea as, we recommend it be `git`; however, change this to whatever your username is if you run Gitea on your personal computer. Gitea may crash if this value is not set properly.
+- `RUN_MODE`: For performance and other purposes, change this to `prod` when deployed to a production environment. The installation process will set this to `prod` automatically.
+
+## Repository (`repository`)
+
+- `ROOT`: Root path for storing all users' repository data. It must be an absolute path. The default is `~/<username>/gitea-repositories`.
+- `SCRIPT_TYPE`: The script type your server supports, usually this is `bash`, but some customers report that they only have `sh`.
+- `ANSI_CHARSET`: The default charset for an unrecognized charset.
+- `FORCE_PRIVATE`: Force every new repository to be private.
+- `MAX_CREATION_LIMIT`: Global maximum creation limit of repositories per user, `-1` means no limit.
