tea

tea 0.13.0, released by CommitGo, is a lightweight command-line client engineered to streamline every-day interaction with self-hosted or cloud Gitea servers. Written in Go and distributed as a single static binary, the program fits naturally into automated CI pipelines, developer laptops, and containerized environments where a full graphical interface would be overkill. Users can clone repositories, create or close pull requests, inspect issues, release tags, and organization memberships without leaving the terminal, making it equally suited to rapid scripting, nightly batch jobs, or interactive GitOps workflows. Because authentication is handled through secure tokens stored in a local configuration file, teams can share the same scripts across macOS, Linux, or Windows runners without exposing credentials. The tool’s sub-command structure mirrors that of the official Git CLI, so existing muscle memory transfers with minimal retraining. tea also exposes a JSON flag for every read operation, allowing operators to pipe structured data directly into jq, PowerShell, or REST gateways for further automation. With three published versions to date, the project maintains backward compatibility while incrementally expanding coverage of the Gitea API surface, from repository hooks to package registries. As a result, system administrators can upgrade without rewriting playbooks, and platform engineers can embed tea into larger DevOps toolchains confident that calls will remain stable. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
