This PR cleans up the docs in a way to make them simpler to ingest by our [docs repo](https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-docusaurus). 1. It includes all of the sed invocations our ingestion did, removing the need to do it at build time. 2. It replaces the shortcode variable replacement method with `@variable@` style, simply for easier sed invocations when required. 3. It removes unused files and moves the docs up a level as cleanup. --------- Signed-off-by: jolheiser <john.olheiser@gmail.com>

Template Repositories
Gitea 1.11.0
and above includes template repositories, and one feature implemented with them is auto-expansion of specific variables within your template files.
To tell Gitea which files to expand, you must include a template
file inside the .gitea
directory of the template repository.
Gitea uses gobwas/glob for its glob syntax. It closely resembles a traditional .gitignore
, however there may be slight differences.
Example .gitea/template
file
All paths are relative to the base of the repository
# All .go files, anywhere in the repository
**.go
# All text files in the text directory
text/*.txt
# A specific file
a/b/c/d.json
# Batch files in both upper or lower case can be matched
**.[bB][aA][tT]
NOTE: The template
file will be removed from the .gitea
directory when a repository is generated from the template.
Variable Expansion
In any file matched by the above globs, certain variables will be expanded.
Matching filenames and paths can also be expanded, and are conservatively sanitized to support cross-platform filesystems.
All variables must be of the form $VAR
or ${VAR}
. To escape an expansion, use a double $$
, such as $$VAR
or $${VAR}

Transformers 🤖
Gitea 1.12.0
adds a few transformers to some of the applicable variables above.
For example, to get REPO_NAME
in PASCAL
-case, your template would use ${REPO_NAME_PASCAL}
Feeding go-sdk
to the available transformers yields...
Transformer | Effect |
---|---|
SNAKE | go_sdk |
KEBAB | go-sdk |
CAMEL | goSdk |
PASCAL | GoSdk |
LOWER | go-sdk |
UPPER | GO-SDK |
TITLE | Go-Sdk |
