Gitea is a Git hosting platform forked from Gogs.
Software Heritage’s Gitea lister queries the project API (eg. https://try.gitea.io/api/v1/repos/search for try.gitea.io) anonymously.
It provides an updated_at
field for each repository, matching the last time
the repository (TODO: or project? does it cover stuff like PRs and issues?) was updated;
which is passed as last_update
to the scheduler.
Software Heritage does not have a specific loader for Gitea; the Git loader is used instead.
Therefore, origin URLs are Gitea’s canonical URLs for the corresponding Git
repository: https://domain/owner/name.git`
New Gitea instances can be submitted to Software Heritage through the Add Forge Now interface.
Software Heritage also archives extrinsic project metadata (eg. project description) from Gitea.
