NAME

gitea2rss - Generates RSS feeds from Gitea releases or tags.

SYNOPSIS

gitea2rss URL of Gitea project [releases|tags]

DESCRIPTION

gitea2rss fetches the releases (default) or tags from the Gitea API, converts the data into an RSS feed and dumps it to stdout. You can use it as a CGI script to generate the feeds dynamically or simply use cron to generate the feeds at fixed intervals.

If you want to use gitea2rss as a CGI script, you have to set GITEA2RSS_BASEURL to the basis URL of your instance, without the trailing slash. For example: https://git.example.com. The QUERY_STRING must contain repo=user/project. The feed-URL for alice’s project, cooltool, would be: https://rss.example.com/?repo=alice/cooltool. You can select the type of the feed by appending &type= at the end of the URL. For example: https://rss.example.com/?repo=alice/cooltool&type=tags.

The generated RSS feed contains the channel elements title, link, description, generator and lastBuildDate and the item elements title, link, guid, pubDate and description. Since Gitea has no individual pages for each release, link elements in item are set to the overview page for releases.

GITEA INTEGRATION

You can let Gitea automatically insert links to your RSS feeds by editing ${GITEA_CUSTOM}/templates/custom/header.tmpl and putting something like this in it:

{{if .Repository.Name}}
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
      title="Releases of {{.Repository.Name}}"
      href="https://rss.example.com/?repo={{.Repository.Owner.Name}}/{{.Repository.Name}}"/>
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
      title="Tags of {{.Repository.Name}}"
      href="https://rss.example.com/?repo={{.Repository.Owner.Name}}/{{.Repository.Name}}&type=tags"/>
{{end}}

PROXY SERVERS

Since gitea2rss is built on libcurl, it respects the same proxy environment variables. See curl(1), section ENVIRONMENT.

EXAMPLES

gitea2rss https://git.example.com/user/project tags > repo.rss
