It gives Gitea users a terminal workflow for issues, pull requests, labels, milestones, releases, repositories, notifications, actions, webhooks, and administrative tasks. ### Project history The official Gitea repository metadata shows `gitea/tea` was created in 2019. Its README presents Tea as a productivity helper for Gitea that uses the `gitea.dev/sdk` client library and interacts with the Gitea API. Tea developed around repository-context-aware workflows: the README says it tries to use the repository in the current working directory, works well in upstream/fork workflows, and includes local helpers such as `tea pr checkout`. ### Adoption history The official README lists Homebrew as the official macOS package route, prebuilt binaries from dl.gitea.com, source installation, and Docker. The supplied package-manager facts show Tea packaged across Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu, Alpine, Arch, MacPorts, Nix, Scoop, winget, and openSUSE. ### How it is used Tea is used by Gitea users who want GitHub-CLI-like operations against one or more Gitea instances. It supports login management, pull request checkout, issue viewing and commenting, release management, repository cloning, notification polling, and Gitea Actions secrets and variables. ### Why package nerds care Tea matters in the package-nerd niche because it is the canonical CLI for a self-hostable forge. Packagers care about it both as an end-user binary and as part of the wider Gitea ecosystem, especially where distributions support users who run private Gitea instances. ### Timeline - 2019: Official Gitea Tea repository created. - 2023: v0.9.x releases published on gitea.com. - 2026: v0.14.x releases published, showing ongoing maintenance. ### Related projects - Tea is tied directly to Gitea and uses gitea.dev/sdk to interact with the Gitea API. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for tea. Package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
