# Git Repository Setup Script for Gitea

This script helps you create a git repository from existing codebase and configure it to synchronize with a Gitea server.

## Features

- **Multiple Authentication Methods**:
  - SSH (passwordless after key setup)
  - HTTPS (with token/password)
  - Tea CLI (Gitea's official command-line tool)

- **Automatic Setup**:
  - Git repository initialization
  - SSH key generation (if needed)
  - Tea CLI installation and configuration
  - Remote repository creation
  - Connection testing

## Usage

1. Make the script executable:
   ```bash
   chmod +x setup-git-repo.sh
   ```

2. Run the script:
   ```bash
   ./setup-git-repo.sh
   ```

3. Follow the prompts to provide:
   - Your name and email
   - Gitea server URL
   - Repository name and description
   - Authentication method preference

## Authentication Methods

### 1. SSH (Recommended)
- Generates ED25519 SSH key if none exists
- Provides passwordless authentication after initial setup
- Most secure for automated workflows

### 2. HTTPS
- Uses access tokens or password authentication
- Good for environments where SSH is blocked
- May require credential management

### 3. Tea CLI
- Installs and configures Gitea's official CLI tool
- Creates repository via Gitea API
- Provides additional repository management features

## Requirements

- Git installed
- Internet connection for Gitea access
- Appropriate permissions on Gitea server

## Tea CLI Information

The script can automatically install tea CLI, which is Gitea's official command-line tool. Tea provides:
- Repository management
- Issue and pull request handling
- Release management
- And much more

## Example Workflow

```bash
./setup-git-repo.sh
# Follow prompts...
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin main
```

The script handles all the complex setup, allowing you to focus on your code.
