# Gotcha
Gotcha is a lightweight Gitea client with a reusable Rust core, a CLI, and a
native iOS application. The iOS interface is UIKit/Swift; UniFFI exposes the
Rust application logic to Swift.
## 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
- `gotcha-app`: Rust application core and UniFFI API used by iOS
- `ios`: native UIKit application for activity, repositories, favorites,
issues, milestones, pull requests, commit history, changed files, and diffs; 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 -- issue list --milestones "Version 1.0" --state open
cargo run -p gotcha-cli -- issue show 7
cargo run -p gotcha-cli -- issue close 7
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.
## Architecture
`gotcha_gitea` owns Gitea access, authentication, validation, mutations, and
relationships between Gitea objects. The CLI is a terminal presentation layer:
it parses arguments and YAML, invokes shared client operations, and formats the
results. `gotcha-app` owns application state, preferences, favorites,
Keychain-backed credentials, and view-ready UniFFI records. UIKit owns native
navigation, controls, layout, and other platform presentation behavior.
New Gitea workflows belong in `gotcha_gitea::Client` first, then receive CLI or
app presentation as needed. Future work includes iOS integrations such as
sharing, notifications, and background refresh.
## iOS app
Server tokens are kept in the Apple Keychain; JSON preferences contain only
server metadata, settings, and favorites. The app requires Xcode, XcodeGen, an
installed iOS Simulator runtime, and Rust's
`aarch64-apple-ios` and `aarch64-apple-ios-sim` targets. Generate the project
after installing those prerequisites:
```sh
cd ios
xcodegen generate
open Gotcha.xcodeproj
```
For a fast host-side check, run `cargo test -p gotcha-app`.

release regression checklist.
