sync base branch

# setup a second repo for excosy implementation
git clone https://git.exozy.me/a/gitea.git exosy

# add remotes
git remote add forgejo git@codeberg.org:forgejo/forgejo.git

# rebase on top of forgejo/forge-development
git checkout forgejo-development
git fetch forgejo
git rebase --onto forgejo/forgejo-development
git push --force

git checkout forgejo-federated-star
git rebase forgejo-development

# continue local development after rebase & force-push has happened
git reset --hard origin/forgejo-federated-star

Thoughts on testing

I would like to be able to quickly test a change in the repo code. For that i need: A test server with federation enabled A test user A test repo A test auth token (?)

A test request as input value to the API An expected result for comparison with the output value.

Tests that provide some examples are:

tests/integration/api_activitypub_person_test.go

tests/integration/api_token_test.go

maybe tests/integration/api_repo_test.go
