history
Project history and usage
Tea is the official command-line interface for Gitea. 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.

- 2019: Official Gitea Tea repository created.
