To register Gitea as a Windows service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator, then run the following command:

sc create gitea start= auto binPath= ""C:\gitea\gitea.exe" web --config "C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini""

Do not forget to replace C:\gitea with the correct Gitea directory.

To unregister Gitea as a service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator and run:

sc delete gitea
