# Gotcha
Gotcha is a lightweight Gitea client built in Rust. Development starts with a
reusable API crate and a CLI test bed; the same crate will back the Slint iOS
application.
## Workspace
- `gotcha_gitea`: reusable asynchronous Gitea API client with the complete
typed Gitea 1.25 API and model surface
- `gotcha`: CLI for typed common operations and arbitrary API requests
- iOS/Slint app: next crate, bundle identifier `de.rfc1437.gotcha`
The generated API modules and models cover every Gitea 1.25 operation. The
low-level request API remains available for newer instance-specific endpoints;
purpose-built CLI and app views are added feature-by-feature.
See [API_COVERAGE.md](API_COVERAGE.md) for the live contract inventory and the
separate API-crate and CLI coverage status.
## CLI
Store each server profile in `~/.config/gotcha/config`:
```sh
cargo run -p gotcha-cli -- auth login gitea.example.com
cargo run -p gotcha-cli -- server version
cargo run -p gotcha-cli -- user show
cargo run -p gotcha-cli -- repo list
cargo run -p gotcha-cli -- repo show
cargo run -p gotcha-cli -- issue list
cargo run -p gotcha-cli -- milestone list
cargo run -p gotcha-cli -- pull list
cargo run -p gotcha-cli -- api request GET repos/owner/project/issues
cargo run -p gotcha-cli -- api request POST user/repos '{"name":"demo"}'
```
`auth login` derives `https://gitea.example.com` from the server name and reads
the token from standard input with echo disabled. The resulting plain YAML file
at `~/.config/gotcha/config` has mode `0600` and one entry per server:
```yaml
servers:
gitea.example.com:
url: https://gitea.example.com
token: your-token
```
Inside a Git repository, Gotcha matches its remotes to these server URLs and
derives the `owner/repository` scope. Use `--server gitea.example.com` when selection is
ambiguous, or `--url`/`GITEA_URL` for an unconfigured server. Tokens are never
accepted as command-line arguments or environment variables.
## Direction
1. Exercise and type API areas in the CLI: repositories, issues and pull
requests, Actions, notifications, organizations, packages, administration.
2. Add the Slint shell and move proven read workflows into touch-first screens.
3. Add write workflows and iOS integrations such as secure token storage,
sharing, notifications, and background refresh.
