These templates add content to the top navbar and to the repository page. This way we do not have to copy and modify the whole template, and re-modify it after upgrading Gitea if it changes. Signed-off-by: Alberto González Palomo <bugs@sentido-labs.com>

Customizing Gitea
Customizing Gitea is typically done using the custom folder. This is the central
place to override configuration settings, templates, etc.
If Gitea is deployed from binary, all default paths will be relative to the gitea
binary. If installed from a distribution, these paths will likely be modified to
the Linux Filesystem Standard. Gitea will create required folders, including custom/.
Application settings are configured in custom/conf/app.ini. Distributions may
provide a symlink for custom using /etc/gitea/.
If the custom folder can't be found next to the binary, check the GITEA_CUSTOM
environment variable; this can be used to override the default path to something else.
GITEA_CUSTOM might, for example, be set by an init script.
Note: Gitea must perform a full restart to see configuration changes.
Customizing /robots.txt
To make Gitea serve a custom /robots.txt (default: empty 404), create a file called
robots.txt in the custom folder with expected contents.
Serving custom public files
To make Gitea serve custom public files (like pages and images), use the folder
custom/public/ as the webroot. Symbolic links will be followed.
For example, a file image.png stored in custom/public/, can be accessed with
the url http://gitea.domain.tld/image.png.
Changing the default avatar
Place the png image at the following path: custom/public/img/avatar\_default.png
Customizing Gitea pages
The custom/templates folder allows changing every single page of Gitea. Templates
to override can be found in the templates directory of Gitea source. Override by
making a copy of the file under custom/templates using a full path structure
matching source.
Any statement contained inside {{ and }} are Gitea's templete syntax and
shouldn't be touched without fully understanding these components.
To add custom HTML to the header or the footer of the page, in the templates/custom
directory there is header.tmpl and footer.tmpl that can be modified. This can be
a useful place to add custom CSS files or additional Javascript.
If all you want is to add extra links to the top navigation bar, or extra tabs to the repository view, you can put them in extra_links.tmpl and extra_tabs.tmpl inside your custom/templates/custom/ directory.
Customizing gitignores, labels, licenses, locales, and readmes.
Place custom files in corresponding sub-folder under custom/options.
