Failures of tea's own API requests now name what was missing or refused instead of "resource or API endpoint unavailable": issue #999 not found in alice/project repository alice/nope not found on http://localhost:3001 (or you don't have access) issues are disabled for bob/project #1 in alice/project is an issue, not a pull request; view it with: tea issue view 1 alice/old-stuff is archived (read-only); unarchive it with: tea repo edit ... A 404 on a repository endpoint looks the repository up once to tell a missing or hidden repository from a disabled feature, an empty repository or an issue number given to a pull request command. Refusals get their next step, a rejected GITEA_TOKEN and unreachable servers are named, and timeoutError words an expired --timeout. Errors a command already wrapped with its own context, and raw tea api responses, keep their wording. Ctrl-C and SIGTERM exit with 130 without printing an error, and a declined confirmation prints "Canceled." with exit code 3. Signed-off-by: bircni <bircni@icloud.com>
T E A
The official CLI for Gitea
Tea manages repositories, issues, pull requests, releases, and other Gitea resources with explicit commands suitable for local development and CI.
tea auth login --host https://gitea.example.org --with-token < token-file
tea issue list --repo owner/repository
tea pr view 123 --repo owner/repository --json
tea alias set bugs 'issue list --label bug'
tea help
tea 1.0 is a breaking release: it requires Gitea 28 or newer, commands, flags and
output formats changed, it uses separate config.yml and hosts.yml files, and it
requires fresh authentication.
Existing combined configuration files are left untouched; archive the old file or
choose an isolated TEA_CONFIG_DIR before setup. See
Migrating to tea 1.0 for the old-to-new mapping.
Run tea --help or tea <command> --help for supported commands and flags; the
full reference, man pages, and shell completions ship in each release's docs archive.
Credentials use the operating-system keyring by default; explicitly
select --credential-store file when private file storage is needed. For CI,
supply GITEA_TOKEN and its instance through TEA_HOST or GITEA_INSTANCE_URL;
environment credentials are never persisted.
Installation
There are different ways to get tea:
-
Install via your system package manager:
-
Use the prebuilt binaries from dl.gitea.com
-
Install from source: see Compilation
-
Docker: Tea at docker hub
Log in to Gitea from tea
Gitea can use many different authentication schemes, and not every authentication method will work with every Gitea deployment. When you are a Gitea instance administrator you can tweak your settings to fit your use case. For the method that is most likely to work with any Gitea deployment use the following steps:
-
Open your Gitea instance in a web browser
-
Log in to Gitea in your web browser. Any MFA, IDP, or whatever else should be available this way.
-
In your "user settings", generate an application token with at least user read permissions. If you want to do anything useful with the token add additional permissions/scopes.
-
Save the token in a private file and run
tea auth login --host https://your-instance --with-token < token-file. Credentials use the operating-system keyring by default.
You should now be logged in to your gitea instance from tea.
Alternatively, tea auth login --host https://your-instance --oauth authorizes tea in your browser. OAuth may not be available on all Gitea deployments, and needs a browser on the machine running tea.
Shell completion
If you installed from source or the package does not provide the completions with it you can add them yourself with tea completion <shell> command. To generate the completions run one of the following commands depending on your shell.
# .bashrc
source <(tea completion bash)
# .zshrc
source <(tea completion zsh)
# fish
tea completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/tea.fish
# PowerShell profile
tea completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression
Man Page
The hidden command tea man can be used to generate the tea man page.
# for bash or zsh
man <(tea man)
# for fish
man (tea man | psub)
# write man page to a file
tea man --output-file ./tea.man
Compilation
Make sure you have a current Go version installed (1.27 or newer).
-
To compile the source yourself with the recommended flags & tags:
git clone https://gitea.com/gitea/tea.git # or: tea repo clone https://gitea.com/gitea/tea ;) cd tea makeNote that GNU Make (gmake on OpenBSD) is required. If you want to install the compiled program you have to execute the following command:
make installThis installs the binary into the "bin" folder inside of your GOPATH folder (
go env GOPATH). It is possible that this folder isn't in your PATH Environment Variable. -
For a quick installation without
git&make, set $version and exec:go install gitea.dev/tea@${version}
