# Linking code from Gitea

Sourcebot can sync code from Gitea Cloud, and self-hosted.

If you're not familiar with Sourcebot [connections](/docs/connections/overview), please read that overview first.

## Examples

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Sync individual repos">
    ```json
    {
        "type": "gitea",
        "repos": [
            "sourcebot-dev/sourcebot",
            "getsentry/sentry",
            "torvalds/linux"
        ]
    }
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Sync all repos in a organization">
    ```json
    {
        "type": "gitea",
        "orgs": [
            "sourcebot-dev",
            "getsentry",
            "vercel"
        ]
    }
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Sync all repos owned by a user">

        ]
    }
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Exclude repos from syncing">
    ```json
    {
        "type": "gitea",
        // Include all repos in my-org...
        "orgs": [
            "my-org"

## Authenticating with Gitea

In order to index private repositories, you'll need to generate a Gitea access token. Generate a Gitea access token [here](http://gitea.com/user/settings/applications). At minimum, you'll need to select the `read:repository` scope. `read:user` and `read:organization` are required for the `user` and `org` fields of your config file:

Next, provide the access token via the `token` property, either as an environment variable or a secret:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Environment Variable">
    1. Add the `token` property to your connection config:

    ```json
    {
        "type": "gitea",
        "token": {
            // note: this env var can be named anything. It
            // doesn't need to be `GITEA_TOKEN`.
            "env": "GITEA_TOKEN"
        }
        // .. rest of config ..
    }
    ```

    2. Pass this environment variable each time you run Sourcebot:

    ```bash
    docker run \
        -e GITEA_TOKEN=<PAT> \
        /* additional args */ \
        ghcr.io/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot:latest
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Secret">
    <Note>Secrets are only supported when [authentication](/docs/configuration/auth/overview) is enabled.</Note>

    1. Navigate to **Secrets** in settings and create a new secret with your PAT:

           <img src="https://mintcdn.com/sourcebot-msukkarieh-ado/NknpbBtcR0kPP20d/images/secrets_list.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=NknpbBtcR0kPP20d&q=85&s=cc036924c6304f097f1028fd6deb5879" alt="" width="1886" height="466" data-path="images/secrets_list.png" />

    2. Add the `token` property to your connection config:

    ```json
    {
        "type": "gitea",
        "token": {
            "secret": "mysecret"
        }
        // .. rest of config ..
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Connecting to a custom Gitea

To connect to a custom Gitea deployment, provide the `url` property to your config:

```json
{
    "type": "gitea",
    "url": "https://gitea.example.com"
    // .. rest of config ..
}
```
