Getting Started with Gitea
This repository contains a README file with information to help new users get started with Gitea. For questions not clarified here, missing information or corrections consider opening an Issue on this repository or contacting someone named in Additional Questions.
Permissions
Gitea works on three permission levels:
- Public - Available for everyone to see
- Limited - Available only for authenticated users
- Private - Available only to the owner and invitees
The Limited permission level is only available to Users and Organizations, not to repositories. If you want to set your repositories to Limited, you have to set your account to Limited too.
Teams/Organizations vs Personal Repositories
Organizations can be created to group multiple repositories under a single entity grouping multiple users. An example of this, is the GECAD-N organization.
Repositories hosted by organizations are allways available to their members, even if the original author of the repository looses access or no longer works for GECAD. Configuring organizations is complex and might not fit everyones work method.
Only the Gitea Administrators can create new organizations.
Actions
Similar to GitHub, Gitea implements an Actions system. It can be setup under the .github/workflows or the .gitea/workflows folder. The syntax for the files is similar to GitHub's, making it possible to migrate current GitHub repositories to Gitea without major changes to the Actions.
Currently only exists ONE runner for actions. As not many repositories use this mechanism, available images and support may need to be expanded in the future.
