Description

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

Currently renovate supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps and Gitea. I would like renovate to additionally support gogs. I think it would be a great fit, as it has an even bigger community than Gitea (going by stars on their GitHub repository).

If you have any ideas on how this should be implemented, please tell us here.

I have no idea, but I'd assume it would work the same way the other integrations work. Sadly I'm not a TypeScript dev.

Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?

No

Research direction
Examine existing platform integrations in the Renovate codebase, particularly the Gitea integration as Gogs is a fork. Look at the directory structure under `lib/platform/` and implement a new module for Gogs following the same patterns. Refer to the Gitea connection handling, authentication, and API abstraction. The main tasks would involve creating a new platform class and registering it. No linked PRs or comments explicitly guide, but the issue mentions similarity to other integrations.
