Restructure documentation. Now the documentation has installation, administration, usage, development, contributing the 5 main parts (#23629)
- **Installation**: includes how to install Gitea and related other
tools, also includes upgrade Gitea
- **Administration**: includes how to configure Gitea, customize Gitea
and manage Gitea instance out of Gitea admin UI
- **Usage**: includes how to use Gitea's functionalities. A sub
documentation is about packages, in future we could also include CI/CD
and others.
- **Development**: includes how to integrate with Gitea's API, how to
develop new features within Gitea
- **Contributing**: includes how to contribute code to Gitea
repositories.

After this is merged, I think we can have a sub-documentation of `Usage`
part named `Actions` to describe how to use Gitea actions

Composer Packages Repository

Publish Composer packages for your user or organization.

Table of Contents

{{< toc >}}

Requirements

To work with the Composer package registry, you can use Composer to consume and a HTTP upload client like curl to publish packages.

Publish a package

To publish a Composer package perform a HTTP PUT operation with the package content in the request body. The package content must be the zipped PHP project with the composer.json file. You cannot publish a package if a package of the same name and version already exists. You must delete the existing package first.

PUT https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/composer
Parameter Description
owner The owner of the package.

If the composer.json file does not contain a version property, you must provide it as a query parameter:

PUT https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/composer?version={x.y.z}

Example request using HTTP Basic authentication:

curl --user your_username:your_password_or_token \
     --upload-file path/to/project.zip \
     https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/composer

Or specify the package version as query parameter:

curl --user your_username:your_password_or_token \
     --upload-file path/to/project.zip \
     https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/composer?version=1.0.3

If you are using 2FA or OAuth use a [personal access token]({{< relref "doc/development/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}}) instead of the password.

The server responds with the following HTTP Status codes.

HTTP Status Code Meaning
201 Created The package has been published.
400 Bad Request The package name and/or version are invalid or a package with the same name and version already exist.

Configuring the package registry

To register the package registry you need to add it to the Composer config.json file (which can usually be found under <user-home-dir>/.composer/config.json):

{
  "repositories": [{
      "type": "composer",
      "url": "https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/composer"
   }
  ]
}

To access the package registry using credentials, you must specify them in the auth.json file as follows:

{
  "http-basic": {
    "gitea.example.com": {
      "username": "{username}",
      "password": "{password}"
    }
  }
}
Parameter Description
owner The owner of the package.
username Your Gitea username.
password Your Gitea password or a personal access token.

Install a package

To install a package from the package registry, execute the following command:

composer require {package_name}

Optional you can specify the package version:

composer require {package_name}:{package_version}
Parameter Description
package_name The package name.
package_version The package version.
