# BRAT (Gitea Fork)

A fork of [obsidian42-brat](https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-brat) that adds support for **self-hosted Gitea/Forgejo instances** alongside GitHub.

## What is this?

BRAT (Beta Reviewers Auto-update Tester) lets you install and auto-update beta Obsidian plugins directly from any git forge that supports releases. This fork extends the original to work with **any Gitea instance** — not just GitHub.

## Usage

Open the BRAT command palette and choose **"Add a beta plugin for testing"**, then paste a repository URL:

| Source | Format | Example |
|---|---|---|
| **GitHub** | `user/repo` or `https://github.com/user/repo` | `TfTHacker/obsidian42-brat` |
| **Gitea** | `https://git.your-instance.com/user/repo` | `https://gitea.mithrilforge.dev/olivier/BindThem` |

The plugin auto-detects the provider from the URL. Each plugin entry stores its own Gitea instance URL and optional access token.

## Installation

Download the latest release assets (`main.js`, `manifest.json`, `styles.css`) and place them in:

```
.obsidian/plugins/obsidian42-brat-gitea/
```

Then enable **BRAT (Gitea Fork)** in Settings → Community Plugins.

## Features

- Install plugins from **GitHub** (bare `user/repo` format, backward compatible)
- Install plugins from **Gitea / Forgejo** (full URL format)
- Per-plugin token management via Obsidian SecretStorage
- Frozen version pinning, incompatible plugin overrides
- Theme installation and updates
- Same UI and commands as the original BRAT
