Restructure documentation. Now the documentation has installation, administration, usage, development, contributing the 5 main parts (#23629)
- **Installation**: includes how to install Gitea and related other
tools, also includes upgrade Gitea
- **Administration**: includes how to configure Gitea, customize Gitea
and manage Gitea instance out of Gitea admin UI
- **Usage**: includes how to use Gitea's functionalities. A sub
documentation is about packages, in future we could also include CI/CD
and others.
- **Development**: includes how to integrate with Gitea's API, how to
develop new features within Gitea
- **Contributing**: includes how to contribute code to Gitea
repositories.

After this is merged, I think we can have a sub-documentation of `Usage`
part named `Actions` to describe how to use Gitea actions

Secrets

Secrets allow you to store sensitive information in your user, organization or repository. Secrets are available on Gitea 1.19+.

Naming your secrets

The following rules apply to secret names:

  • Secret names can only contain alphanumeric characters ([a-z], [A-Z], [0-9]) or underscores (_). Spaces are not allowed.

  • Secret names must not start with the GITHUB_ and GITEA_ prefix.

  • Secret names must not start with a number.

  • Secret names are not case-sensitive.

  • Secret names must be unique at the level they are created at.

For example, a secret created at the repository level must have a unique name in that repository, and a secret created at the organization level must have a unique name at that level.

If a secret with the same name exists at multiple levels, the secret at the lowest level takes precedence. For example, if an organization-level secret has the same name as a repository-level secret, then the repository-level secret takes precedence.
