`gitea [global options] command [command or global options] [arguments...]`

## Global options

All global options can be placed at the command level.

- `--help`, `-h`: Show help text and exit. Optional.
- `--version`, `-v`: Show version and exit. Optional. (example: `Gitea version 1.1.0+218-g7b907ed built with: bindata, sqlite`).
- `--work-path path`, `-w path`: Gitea's work path. Optional. (default: the binary's path or `$GITEA_WORK_DIR`)

- `--config path`, `-c path`: Gitea configuration file path. Optional. (default: `CustomPath`/conf/app.ini).

NB: The defaults custom-path, config and work-path can also be
changed at build time (if preferred).

## Commands

### web

Starts the server:

- Options:
  - `--port number`, `-p number`: Port number. Optional. (default: 3000). Overrides configuration file.
  - `--install-port number`: Port number to run the install page on. Optional. (default: 3000). Overrides configuration file.

### keys

Provides an SSHD AuthorizedKeysCommand. Needs to be configured in the sshd config file:

```ini
...
# The value of -e and the AuthorizedKeysCommandUser should match the
# username running Gitea
AuthorizedKeysCommandUser git
AuthorizedKeysCommand /path/to/gitea keys -e git -u %u -t %t -k %k
```

The command will return the appropriate authorized_keys line for the
provided key. You should also set the value
`SSH_CREATE_AUTHORIZED_KEYS_FILE=false` in the `[server]` section of
`app.ini`.

NB: opensshd requires the Gitea program to be owned by root and not
writable by group or others. The program must be specified by an absolute
path.
NB: Gitea must be running for this command to succeed.

### migrate

Migrates the database. This command can be used to run other commands before starting the server for the first time.
This command is idempotent.

### doctor check

Diagnose and potentially fix problems with the current Gitea instance.
Several checks are run by default, but additional ones can be run:

- `gitea doctor check --list` - will list all the available checks
- `gitea doctor check --all` - will run all available checks
- `gitea doctor check --default` - will run the default checks
- `gitea doctor check --run [check(s),]...` - will run the named checks

Some problems can be automatically fixed by passing the `--fix` option.
Extra logging can be set with `--log-file=...`.

#### doctor recreate-table

Sometimes when there are migrations the old columns and default values may be left
unchanged in the database schema. This may lead to warning such as:

```
2020/08/02 11:32:29 ...rm/session_schema.go:360:Sync() [W] Table user Column keep_activity_private db default is , struct default is 0
```

You can cause Gitea to recreate these tables and copy the old data into the new table
with the defaults set appropriately by using:

```
gitea doctor recreate-table user
```

You can ask Gitea to recreate multiple tables using:

```
gitea doctor recreate-table table1 table2 ...
```

And if you would like Gitea to recreate all tables simply call:

```
gitea doctor recreate-table
```

It is highly recommended to back-up your database before running these commands.

### doctor convert

### actions generate-runner-token

Generate a new token for a runner to use to register with the server

- Options:
  - `--scope {owner}[/{repo}]`, `-s {owner}[/{repo}]`: To limit the scope of the runner, no scope means the runner can be used for all repos, but you can also limit it to a specific repo or owner

To register a global runner:

```
gitea actions generate-runner-token
```

To register a runner for a specific organization, in this case `org`:

```
gitea actions generate-runner-token -s org
```

To register a runner for a specific repo, in this case `username/test-repo`:

```
gitea actions generate-runner-token -s username/test-repo
```
