## Usage

```shell
forgejo [global options] command [command or global options] [arguments...]
```

## Global options

All global options can be used at the command level.

- `--help`, `-h`: Show help text and exit.
- `--version`, `-v`: Show version and exit. \
  (example: `Forgejo version 1.20.3+0 built with GNU Make 4.4.1, go1.20.7 : bindata, timetzdata, sqlite, sqlite_unlock_notify`)
- `--work-path path`, `-w path`: Forgejo's work path. \
  _(default: the binary's path or `$GITEA_WORK_DIR`)_
- `--custom-path path`, `-C path`: Forgejo's custom folder path. \
  _(default: `WorkPath`/custom or `$GITEA_CUSTOM`)_
- `--config path`, `-c path`: Forgejo configuration file path. \
  _(default: `CustomPath`/conf/app.ini)_

**Note:** The default values for `custom-path`, `config` and `work-path` can also be changed at build time.

## Commands

### `web`

Starts the server.

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

- **Notes**
  - **Forgejo should not be run as root.** To bind to a port below `1024`, you can use `setcap` on Linux:

    - **Options**
      - `INTERNAL_TOKEN`: Token used for an internal API call authentication.
      - `JWT_SECRET`: LFS & OAUTH2 JWT authentication secret (LFS_JWT_SECRET is aliased to this option for backwards compatibility).

### `keys`

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

...
# The value of -e and the AuthorizedKeysCommandUser should match the
# username running Forgejo
AuthorizedKeysCommandUser git
AuthorizedKeysCommand /path/to/forgejo 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 Forgejo program to be owned by root and not
writable by group or others. The program must be specified by an absolute
path.
NB: Forgejo 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.

### `convert`

Converts an existing MySQL database from utf8 to utf8mb4.

### `doctor`

Diagnose the problems of current Forgejo instance according the given configuration.

Currently performs the following checks:

- **Check if OpenSSH `authorized_keys` file is correct.** \
  If your Forgejo instance supports OpenSSH, your Forgejo instance binary path will be written to `authorized_keys` when any public key is added or changed on your Forgejo instance. \
  Sometimes if you have moved or renamed your Forgejo binary when upgrading and you haven't run the "`Update the '.ssh/authorized_keys' file with Forgejo SSH keys`" command on your Admin Panel, all pull/push operations via SSH will fail.
  This check will help you to verify that the configuration is correct.

For contributors, if you want to add more checks, you can write a new function like `func(ctx *cli.Context) ([]string, error)` and
append it to `doctor.go`.

```go
var checklist = []check{
	{
		title: "Check if OpenSSH authorized_keys file id correct",
		f:     runDoctorLocationMoved,
    },
    // more checks please append here
}
```

This function will receive a command line context and return a list of details about the problems or error.

#### `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 warnings such as:

```log
2020/08/02 11:32:29 ...rm/session_schema.go:360:Sync2() [W] Table user Column keep_activity_private db default is , struct default is 0
```

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

```shell
forgejo doctor recreate-table user
```

You can ask Forgejo to recreate multiple tables using:

```shell
forgejo doctor recreate-table table1 table2 ...
```

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

```shell
forgejo doctor recreate-table
```

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

```shell
forgejo actions generate-runner-token
```

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

```shell
forgejo actions generate-runner-token -s org
```

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

```shell
forgejo actions generate-runner-token -s username/test-repo
```
