Research direction

Start with docs/ADDING_APPS.md and the gitea definition in src/catalog/apps/batch-19.js, then check the Forgejo API docs for the base URL, token auth and GET /user connection test. Add a Forgejo definition to the best-fitting file in src/catalog/apps/, with numbered help text. Done when npm run validate and npm test pass and the logo is generated with npm run logos -- forgejo.

Description

app request good first issue help wanted self-hosted app

Add Forgejo to the catalog. It's a popular self-hosted app and a good first contribution: Conector already supports apps on your own server through a url field.

API documentation: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/api-usage/

What we know so far (check it against the docs before relying on it):

  • Base URL: {url}/api/v1, where {url} is a field with format: "url" (see the gitea app in src/catalog/apps/batch-19.js for an example).
  • Authentication: An access token (Settings → Applications), sent as Authorization: token <token> (Bearer also works).
  • Connection test: GET /user returns the signed-in user.
  • What agents could do with it: Repositories, issues and pull requests. Its API is compatible with Gitea's, so the existing gitea definition in src/catalog/apps/batch-19.js is a good starting point.

How to add it

  1. Follow docs/ADDING_APPS.md: add the definition to the most fitting file in src/catalog/apps/, with help text that leads people to the key in a few numbered steps.
  2. Run npm run validate and npm test, and generate the logo with npm run logos -- <app id>.
  3. If you run Forgejo yourself, connect it in a local Conector and try a couple of requests from your agent. Say in the pull request what you tested.
