Discovery matched a git remote's host against the instance URL's host, so a server answering SSH on a different name than its web UI resolved to nothing — and said so only in a debug log. Resolution now runs in three stages. A remote host is matched directly, then against configured aliases, and failing both the instances are asked for the repository: Gitea publishes its SSH hostname in a repository's ssh_url, so the right instance identifies itself. What that turns up is saved as a host alias, so later repositories on the same host resolve with no lookup at all, and the mapping is visible and editable rather than hidden. Each unknown host is probed at most once per session. When nothing resolves the sidebar now names the unmatched host and offers Add Host Alias, instead of showing an empty section. Aliases can also be written by hand as "remote-host = instance URL", accepting =, -> and =>, ignoring ports, and skipping # comments. List preferences now merge workspace entries onto global ones rather than letting an empty global array mask them. Adds Tests/host-aliases.test.js covering both directions: unmatched hosts reported and nothing persisted, a hand-written alias, detection from ssh_url, and a later repository resolving from the stored alias without a probe. 131 checks across three suites. Also adds CLAUDE.md, and .gitea/workflows/ci.yml running the suites, script syntax checks, manifest validation, and a generated-image check. Tools/make-icons.py gains --check, which compares decompressed pixels so a differing zlib version cannot fail it spuriously.

# Gitea for Nova
|
|
|
|
Gitea Actions, pull requests, reviews, secrets, and variables in the Nova
|
|
sidebar. This extension aims to give Nova the same day-to-day coverage the
|
|
official [Gitea for VS Code](https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-vscode) extension
|
|
gives VS Code.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Nova 9 or later, on macOS.
|
|
- Gitea 1.24 or later for the workflow runs API. Older servers still work: the
|
|
extension falls back to `/actions/tasks` and shows a flat **Recent Runs** list.
|
|
- A personal access token, created in Gitea under **Settings → Applications →
|
|
Access Tokens**.
|
|
|
|
### Token scopes
|
|
|
|
| Scope | Needed for |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `read:repository` | Repositories, branches, pull requests |
|
|
| `read:issue` | Pull request timelines and comments |
|
|
| `write:repository` | Approving, merging, closing, review comments |
|
|
| `read:user` | Identifying the signed-in account |
|
|
| Actions read | Workflow runs, jobs, logs, artifacts |
|
|
| Actions write | Re-running and cancelling runs |
|
|
| Secrets / variables | Managing repository secrets and variables |
|
|
|
|
Read-only tokens work fine; the write-only features simply report a clear
|
|
permission error when used.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
1. Open **Extensions → Gitea → Open Gitea Preferences** and set your instance
|
|
URL (it defaults to `https://gitea.com`).
|
|
2. Run **Extensions → Gitea → Set Token…** and paste a personal access token.
|
|
Tokens are stored in the macOS Keychain, one per instance.
|
|
3. Open the **Gitea** sidebar.
|
|
|
|
Repositories are discovered from the git remotes of the folders in your
|
|
workspace. A remote is matched to an instance by its host, so
|
|
`[email protected]:acme/widget.git` routes to the configured instance at
|
|
`https://gitea.example.com`. Set **Discovery Mode** to *All Accessible
|
|
Repositories* to list everything your token can reach instead.
|
|
|
|
### When SSH uses a different hostname
|
|
|
|
Some instances answer SSH on a different hostname than the web UI — remotes look
|
|
like `[email protected]:acme/widget.git` while the instance is at
|
|
`https://git.example.com`. The hosts do not match, so those repositories would
|
|
not be found.
|
|
|
|
The extension resolves this on its own: the first time it sees an unknown remote
|
|
host, it asks each configured instance for the repository and compares the
|
|
`ssh_url` that instance advertises. On a match it records the alias in the
|
|
**Host Aliases** preference, so every later repository on that host resolves
|
|
immediately, with no further lookups and nothing to configure.
|
|
|
|
That needs a token, and the repository has to be one your token can read. If it
|
|
cannot be worked out, the sidebar shows the unresolved host with an **Add Host
|
|
Alias…** action instead of failing silently. You can also add one by hand, as
|
|
`remote-host = instance URL`, one per line:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ssh.example.net = https://git.example.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Aliases show under their instance in the **Settings** section, so a detected one
|
|
is visible rather than invisible magic. `=`, `->`, and `=>` all work as
|
|
separators, ports are ignored, and lines starting with `#` are comments.
|
|
|
|
## Sidebar sections
|
|
|
|
**Current Branch** — pull requests and workflow runs for the branch checked out
|
|
in the workspace. Use the branch button in the section header (or **Change
|
|
Branch Filter…**) to follow all branches or pin a specific one.
|
|
|
|
**Workflows** — every run in the repository, grouped by workflow file. Expand a
|
|
run for its jobs, each job for its steps, and open the run's artifacts.
|
|
|
|
**Pull Requests** — open pull requests across all discovered repositories, each
|
|
expanding into its reviews, review comments, and changed files.
|
|
|
|
**Settings** — connection state per instance, plus repository Actions secrets
|
|
and variables. Secrets and variables load only when you expand them.
|
|
|
|
## What you can do
|
|
|
|
- **Runs** — re-run a run, re-run only its failed jobs, re-run a single job, or
|
|
cancel a run in progress.
|
|
- **Logs** — double-click a job to open its logs. With **Save Job Logs to
|
|
Repository** on, logs are written to `.tmp/gitea-logs/` so they open as real
|
|
files; otherwise they open in an untitled tab.
|
|
- **Artifacts** — download to `.tmp/gitea-artifacts/`, reveal in Finder, or open
|
|
(single-file artifacts are unzipped and opened directly).
|
|
- **Pull requests** — open a Markdown overview, open the unified diff, jump to a
|
|
changed file, check out the branch, create a pull request, merge with any of
|
|
Gitea's four strategies, or close.
|
|
- **Reviews** — approve, request changes, or comment; reply to a review comment;
|
|
resolve and unresolve threads.
|
|
- **Inline comments** — review comments on the current branch's pull requests
|
|
appear as issues in the editor gutter and the Issues sidebar, anchored to the
|
|
line the comment was left on. Comments from a *request changes* review show as
|
|
errors, others as warnings, resolved ones as info.
|
|
- **Add a review comment from the editor** — put the cursor on a line and use
|
|
**Editor → Add Gitea Review Comment…**.
|
|
- **Secrets and variables** — add, update, and delete, per repository.
|
|
|
|
Polling adapts to activity: every 15 seconds while runs are queued or running,
|
|
every 60 seconds otherwise. Both intervals are configurable, and a run that
|
|
finishes in a failed state posts a notification.
|
|
|
|
## Multiple instances
|
|
|
|
Add extra instances under **Additional Instances** in preferences, or with
|
|
**Add Gitea Instance…**. Each keeps its own Keychain token, and repositories
|
|
route to whichever instance matches their remote host. The default instance is
|
|
used for anything that does not match.
|
|
|
|
## Differences from the VS Code extension
|
|
|
|
Nova's extension API does not expose everything VS Code's does, so a few
|
|
features are shaped differently:
|
|
|
|
| Gitea for VS Code | Here |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Webview pull request timeline | Markdown overview opened in an editor tab |
|
|
| Native side-by-side diff editor | Unified `.diff` document, per file or whole PR |
|
|
| Inline comment threads on the diff | Review comments published as editor issues |
|
|
| Status bar run summary | Notification when a run fails |
|
|
| OAuth sign-in | Personal access tokens only — Nova extensions cannot run the local HTTP listener an OAuth redirect needs |
|
|
| `tls.insecureSkipVerify` | Not available; Nova's `fetch` has no TLS override |
|
|
|
|
## Preferences
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| Default Instance URL | `https://gitea.com` | Instance used when no other matches a remote |
|
|
| Additional Instances | — | Extra instance URLs |
|
|
| Host Aliases | — | Map alternate remote hosts onto an instance; filled in automatically when detected |
|
|
| Discovery Mode | `workspace` | Workspace git remotes, or all accessible repositories |
|
|
| Max Runs per Repository | 20 | How many runs to load |
|
|
| Max Jobs per Run | 50 | How many jobs to load |
|
|
| Active Interval | 15s | Poll rate while runs are in progress |
|
|
| Idle Interval | 60s | Poll rate when nothing is running |
|
|
| Notify on Failed Runs | on | Post a notification when a run fails |
|
|
| Show Review Comments Inline | on | Publish review comments as editor issues |
|
|
| Save Job Logs to Repository | on | Write logs to `.tmp/gitea-logs/` |
|
|
| Artifact Download Path | `.tmp/gitea-artifacts/` | Where artifacts land |
|
|
| Enable Debug Logging | off | Verbose extension console output |
|
|
|
|
Instance URL and branch filter can also be set per workspace under **Project
|
|
Settings**.
|
|
|
|
You will probably want to add `.tmp/` to the repository's `.gitignore`.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
Symlink or copy this folder into Nova's extension directory and open the
|
|
**Extensions → Extension Library** to load it:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ln -s "$PWD" ~/Library/Application\ Support/Nova/Extensions/unsupervised.giteanova
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Turn on **Enable Debug Logging** and watch the extension console
|
|
(**Extensions → Extension Library → Gitea → Console**) while working.
|
|
|
|
### Tests
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
Tests/run.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Three suites run the extension's real code under plain Node against a stubbed Nova
|
|
runtime and a canned Gitea instance — no install step, no network, and nothing
|
|
written inside the repository. See [Tests/README.md](Tests/README.md).
|
|
|
|
### Images
|
|
|
|
`Images/` is generated. To change an icon, edit the shapes in
|
|
`Tools/make-icons.py` and re-run it:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
python3 Tools/make-icons.py # regenerate
|
|
python3 Tools/make-icons.py --check # verify, without writing
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Continuous integration
|
|
|
|
`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` runs the suites, syntax-checks every script,
|
|
validates the manifest, and verifies the generated images on each push and pull
|
|
request. Adjust `runs-on` if your runner registers a label other than
|
|
`ubuntu-latest`; the jobs need only node, python3, and git.
