Search Engines Indexation

By default your Gitea installation will be indexed by search engines. If you don't want your repository to be visible for search engines read further.

Block search engines indexation using robots.txt​

To make Gitea serve a custom robots.txt (default: empty 404) for top level installations, create a file with path public/robots.txt in the custom folder or CustomPath

Examples on how to configure the robots.txt can be found at https://moz.com/learn/seo/robotstxt.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

If you installed Gitea in a subdirectory, you will need to create or edit the robots.txt in the top level directory.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /gitea/
