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.
