- Split monolithic build-preview.go into modular packages: tools.go (entry), cli/ (list/create/delete/preview commands), config/ (JSON loading), preview/ (rendering engine, funcs, locale) - Extract all template metadata into data/templates_config.json as single source of truth — no hardcoded template data in Go - Replace hand-rolled CLI parsing with github.com/urfave/cli/v2 - Add sensible defaults for --folder (../themes) and --config (./data/templates_config.json) — most commands now run bare - Add type-coercing gt/lt/ge/le template funcs for JSON float64 - Fix AppUrl to gitea.com matching official template convention - rendered.js now exports __REGISTRY__ and __PARAMS__ alongside __RENDERED__ — preview/index.html reads all from single source - Cross-validate all 11 template data contexts against official Gitea source (services/mailer/*.go + templates/mail/*.tmpl) - Update all docs (README, AGENTS, CONTRIBUTING, 5 languages) to reflect new CLI workflow with create scaffolding command Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Contributing to Gitea Mail Templates
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your interest in contributing! This project aims to provide a diverse, well-maintained collection of email templates for the Gitea ecosystem.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Ways to Contribute
|
|
|
|
### Adding a New Style
|
|
|
|
1. Scaffold the new style: `cd tools && go run . create <your-style-name>` — this creates the directory structure with placeholder `.tmpl` files for all 11 email types
|
|
2. Edit each `.tmpl` file in `themes/<your-style-name>/` with your unique visual design
|
|
3. Regenerate the preview: `cd tools && go run . preview all` — the build script auto-discovers all theme directories under `themes/` and generates the theme selector dynamically
|
|
4. Submit a PR with screenshots of rendered emails
|
|
|
|
### Style Guidelines
|
|
|
|
- Each style must include **all 11 template types** listed in the README
|
|
- Use only Gitea's built-in template functions — check the [Gitea source](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea) for reference
|
|
- Translation keys must come from Gitea's official locale files (`mail.*` namespace)
|
|
- **Never reference `.DisplayName`** in templates where the data context lacks it (collaborator, transfer, release, workflow_run, assigned, default)
|
|
- Design for 600px max-width email clients
|
|
- Test against major email clients (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail) when possible
|
|
|
|
### Bug Reports
|
|
|
|
If a template doesn't render correctly:
|
|
|
|
1. Check that all referenced Go template variables exist — compare against the Gitea source mail templates
|
|
2. Verify translation keys match Gitea's locale files
|
|
3. Confirm `.DisplayName` isn't used in templates that lack it
|
|
4. Regenerate the preview: `cd tools && go run . preview all`
|
|
5. Open an issue with: the style name, which email type, and the error or unexpected output
|
|
|
|
### Documentation Improvements
|
|
|
|
Documentation updates, preview screenshots, installation guides, and translations are always welcome.

## Development Setup
|
|
|
|
No build tools or dependencies are needed — these are raw Go HTML templates.
|
|
|
|
### Previewing Locally
|
|
|
|
1. Open `preview/index.html` directly in a browser — no server needed
|
|
2. Use the theme switcher, template selector, and client mode toggles to review designs
|
|
3. Toggle between Modern, Gmail, Outlook, and Raw source modes to verify degradation
|
|
|
|
### Regenerating Previews
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd tools && go run . preview all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This renders all templates (themes auto-discovered from the themes/ directory) using Go's native `html/template` package and writes the output to `preview/rendered.js`. The `--folder` and `--config` flags default to `../themes` and `./data/templates_config.json` respectively — override them only when using a custom layout.
|
|
|
|
### Integration Testing
|
|
|
|
Deploy the templates to a Gitea instance and use the admin test email feature:
|
|
**Site Administration > Configuration > Mailer > Send Test Email**
|
