### Issue locking
Commenting on closed or merged issues/PRs is strongly discouraged.
Such comments will likely be overlooked as some maintainers may not view notifications on closed issues, thinking that the item is resolved.
As such, commenting on closed/merged issues/PRs may be disabled prior to the scheduled auto-locking if a discussion starts or if unrelated comments are posted.
If further discussion is needed, we encourage you to open a new issue instead and we recommend linking to the issue/PR in question for context.
## Building Gitea
See the [development setup instructions](https://docs.gitea.com/development/hacking-on-gitea).
