Gitea

Gitea scm

Description

The Gitea scm plugin is used to manage git repositories hosted on Gitea, depending on the stage, it can be used for different purposes

source: Retrieve data from a git repository, such as a file content condition: Ensure data exist on a git repository, such as a file content target: Ensure data is up to date on a git repository

Parameters

NameTypeDescriptionRequired
branchstring

“branch” defines the git branch to work on.

compatible:
  * scm

default:
  main

remark:
  depending on which resource references the Gitea scm, the behavior will be different.

If the scm is linked to a source or a condition (using scmid), the branch will be used to retrieve file(s) from that branch.

If the scm is linked to target then Updatecli creates a new “working branch” based on the branch value. The working branch created by Updatecli looks like “updatecli_”. The working branch can be disabled using the “workingBranch” parameter set to false.
