gitea/docs/content/doc/usage/push-to-create.en-us.md
Lunny Xiao e8433b7fe6
Restructure documentation. Now the documentation has installation, administration, usage, development, contributing the 5 main parts (#23629)
- **Installation**: includes how to install Gitea and related other
tools, also includes upgrade Gitea
- **Administration**: includes how to configure Gitea, customize Gitea
and manage Gitea instance out of Gitea admin UI
- **Usage**: includes how to use Gitea's functionalities. A sub
documentation is about packages, in future we could also include CI/CD
and others.
- **Development**: includes how to integrate with Gitea's API, how to
develop new features within Gitea
- **Contributing**: includes how to contribute code to Gitea
repositories.

After this is merged, I think we can have a sub-documentation of `Usage`
part named `Actions` to describe how to use Gitea actions

# Push To Create
Push to create is a feature that allows you to push to a repository that does not exist yet in Gitea. This is useful for automation and for allowing users to create repositories without having to go through the web interface. This feature is disabled by default.
## Enabling Push To Create
In the `app.ini` file, set `ENABLE_PUSH_CREATE_USER` to `true` and `ENABLE_PUSH_CREATE_ORG` to `true` if you want to allow users to create repositories in their own user account and in organizations they are a member of respectively. Restart Gitea for the changes to take effect. You can read more about these two options in the [Configuration Cheat Sheet]({{< relref "doc/administration/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md#repository-repository" >}}).
## Using Push To Create
Assuming you have a git repository in the current directory, you can push to a repository that does not exist yet in Gitea by running the following command:
```shell
# Add the remote you want to push to
git remote add origin git@{domain}:{username}/{repo name that does not exist yet}.git
# push to the remote
git push -u origin main
```
This assumes you are using an SSH remote, but you can also use HTTPS remotes as well.
## Push options (bonus)
Push-to-create will default to the visibility defined by `DEFAULT_PUSH_CREATE_PRIVATE` in `app.ini`. To explicitly set the visibility, you can use a [push option]({{< relref "doc/usage/push-options.en-us.md" >}}).
