The defaults provided here are best-effort (not built automatically). They are accurately recorded in [app.ini.sample ](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/custom/conf/app.ini.sample ) (s/master/< tag | release \>. Any string in the format `%(X)s` is a feature powered by [ini ](https://github.com/go-ini/ini/#recursive-values ), for reading values recursively .
