+## 🏗️ About the Gitea Integration
 
-### SSH Push (after SSH key setup)
+This repo documents and enables integration between **Hermes Agent** and **Gitea** (the internal Git service at wholeworldcoding.com).
 
+### Key Features
+- **API Access**: Full Gitea REST API access for repository management
+- **Authentication**: HTTPS via Personal Access Token (PAT)
+- **Helper Scripts**: Command-line utilities for common git operations
+- **Skill Library**: Reusable Hermes skills for Gitea API operations
 
-### API Access
+## 🔑 Authentication
-{"message":"user does not exist [uid: 0, name: ]","url":"https://git.wholeworldcoding.com/api/swagger"}
 
-### Troubleshooting
+The Gitea API uses a **Personal Access Token** for authentication:
 
-**SSH connection fails:**
+```bash
+export GITEA_TOKEN="d1da5d8c17a64d89afca0123c5b781073e69f9c1"
+```
 
+### How to Use
+```bash
+# Set token as environment variable
+export GITEA_TOKEN="d1da5d8c17a64d89afca0123c5b781073e69f9c1"
 
-**Push code:**
+# Use with API calls
+curl -H "Authorization: token YOUR_TOKEN" https://git.wholeworldcoding.com/api/v1/repos
+```

+## 🤖 About the Helper Scripts
+
+### `git-auth`
+A Git credential helper that stores tokens securely for HTTPS-based git operations.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+# Export token
+export GITEA_TOKEN="YOUR_TOKEN"
+
+# Configure git credential helper
+git config --global credential.helper store
+git config --global credential.https.git.username "your-username"
+git config --global credential.https.git.password "$GITEA_TOKEN"
+
+# Clone or push
+git clone https://git.wholeworldcoding.com/your-username/repo.git
+git push origin main
+```
+
+### `scripts/git-gitea`
+A helper script that translates git CLI commands to Gitea API calls for programmatic access.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+# Clone
+./scripts/git-gitea clone <owner> <repo>
+
+# Create repo
+./scripts/git-gitea create-repo --name <name> --visibility public
+
+# List files
+./scripts/git-gitea files <owner> <repo>
+
+# Create/Update file
+./scripts/git-gitea file <owner> <repo> <path> "content"
+```
+
+## 🔧 Creating Repositories
+
+```bash
+# Create a new private repository
+curl -X POST \
+  -H "Authorization: token YOUR_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name": "my-repo", "visibility": "private"}' \
+  https://git.wholeworldcoding.com/api/v1/user/repos
+
+# Create a new public repository
+curl -X POST \
+  -H "Authorization: token YOUR_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name": "my-public-repo", "visibility": "public"}' \
+  https://git.wholeworldcoding.com/api/v1/user/repos
+```
+
+## 📦 Creating Files
+
+```bash
+# Create a new file
+curl -X POST \
+  -H "Authorization: token YOUR_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "repo_path": "owner/repo",
+    "path": "filename.txt",
+    "content": "file content here",
+    "committer": {
+      "name": "Your Name",
+      "email": "your.email@example.com"
+    }
+  }' \
+  https://git.wholeworldcoding.com/api/v1/repos/owner/repo/contents
+
+# Note: You'll also need to commit the file
+```

+
+## 🔒 Security Notes
+
+- **Token Management**: Store your Personal Access Token securely
+- **Token Scope**: Only grant the permissions you need
+- **Rotation**: Periodically rotate tokens for security
+- **File Permissions**: Set `.netrc` with `chmod 600` if you store credentials there
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### "401 Unauthorized"
+- Check that your token is correct and hasn't expired
+- Verify you have the right permissions for the requested operation
+- Ensure the token has the `user` scope
+
+### "403 Forbidden"
+- You may not have permission for this operation
+- Some operations require admin privileges
+- Check your token's permission scopes
+
+### "404 Not Found"
+- The resource doesn't exist (e.g., repo doesn't exist)
+- Check the URL is correct
+- Verify the owner name matches your Gitea username
+
+### Connection Issues
+- Check your internet connection
+- Verify the Gitea server is accessible
+- Try from a different network if on restricted network
