	This PR cleans up the docs in a way to make them simpler to ingest by our [docs repo](https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-docusaurus). 1. It includes all of the sed invocations our ingestion did, removing the need to do it at build time. 2. It replaces the shortcode variable replacement method with `@variable@` style, simply for easier sed invocations when required. 3. It removes unused files and moves the docs up a level as cleanup. --------- Signed-off-by: jolheiser <john.olheiser@gmail.com>

# Environment variables
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is an inventory of Gitea environment variables. They change Gitea behaviour.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Initialize them before Gitea command to be effective, for example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
GITEA_CUSTOM=/home/gitea/custom ./gitea web
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## From Go language
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
As Gitea is written in Go, it uses some Go variables, such as:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `GOOS`
 | 
						|
- `GOARCH`
 | 
						|
- [`GOPATH`](https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-GOPATH_environment_variable)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For documentation about each of the variables available, refer to the
 | 
						|
[official Go documentation](https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Environment_variables).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Gitea files
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `GITEA_WORK_DIR`: Absolute path of working directory.
 | 
						|
- `GITEA_CUSTOM`: Gitea uses `WorkPath`/custom folder by default. Use this variable to change _custom_ directory.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Operating system specifics
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `USER`: System user that Gitea will run as. Used for some repository access strings.
 | 
						|
- `USERNAME`: if no `USER` found, Gitea will use `USERNAME`
 | 
						|
- `HOME`: User home directory path. The `USERPROFILE` environment variable is used in Windows.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Only on Windows
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `USERPROFILE`: User home directory path. If empty, uses `HOMEDRIVE` + `HOMEPATH`
 | 
						|
- `HOMEDRIVE`: Main drive path used to access the home directory (C:)
 | 
						|
- `HOMEPATH`: Home relative path in the given home drive path
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Miscellaneous
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `SKIP_MINWINSVC`: If set to 1, do not run as a service on Windows.
