# stoke > CLI for the heavy-duty forge (Forgejo). Named after the act of feeding and tending a fire — the operator's hand on the forge. A command-line interface for [Forgejo](https://forgejo.org/), built with [Commander.js](https://github.com/tj/commander.js/). It targets the instance at `https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders` and is designed so that every real operation performed against Forgejo becomes a new CLI command. ## Requirements - Node.js >= 22.12 (required by `commander@15`; the CLI also uses the global `fetch` API) - npm ## Installation ### With apt (Debian/Ubuntu — recommended) The package is published to the public Debian registry of the forge itself. One-time setup: ```bash curl -fsSL https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders/heavy-duty/stoke/raw/branch/main/scripts/install-apt.sh | bash ``` If a private registry or a `FORGE_URL=` override requires authentication, download the installer and supply a Forgejo login and package-readable token: ```bash export FORGE_USER=your-forgejo-login read -rsp 'Forgejo token: ' FORGE_TOKEN && echo && export FORGE_TOKEN curl -fsSLo /tmp/stoke-install-apt.sh \ https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders/heavy-duty/stoke/raw/branch/main/scripts/install-apt.sh sudo --preserve-env=FORGE_USER,FORGE_TOKEN bash /tmp/stoke-install-apt.sh unset FORGE_TOKEN ``` The authenticated path keeps credentials out of the source URL in a root-readable apt auth file. To configure that file manually before adding the source: ```bash sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/auth.conf.d sudo install -m 0600 /dev/null /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/forgejo-heavy-duty.conf printf 'machine forgejo.heavyduty.builders\nlogin %s\npassword %s\n' \ "$FORGE_USER" "$FORGE_TOKEN" \ | sudo tee /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/forgejo-heavy-duty.conf >/dev/null ``` Then add the forge's registry as an apt source: ```bash sudo install -d /etc/apt/keyrings curl -fsSL https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders/api/packages/heavy-duty/debian/repository.key \ | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/forgejo-heavy-duty.asc >/dev/null echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/forgejo-heavy-duty.asc] https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders/api/packages/heavy-duty/debian stable main" \ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/forgejo-heavy-duty.list ``` The package depends on `nodejs (>= 22.12)`, which the distro archives of Debian 13 (Node 20) and Ubuntu 24.04 (Node 18) cannot satisfy — on those distros, also add a Node 22 source such as [NodeSource](https://deb.nodesource.com): ```bash curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key \ | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.asc >/dev/null echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.asc] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_22.x nodistro main" \ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list ``` Then install: ```bash sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install stoke ``` Upgrades then arrive through regular `apt-get upgrade`. `install-apt.sh` performs all of the above, adding the NodeSource repository only when no already-configured apt source offers a new-enough nodejs. Note: apt releases that verify OpenPGP with `sqv` (Debian 13+, apt >= 2.9) may reject signatures produced by affected Forgejo versions. By default, `install-apt.sh` refuses that signature failure and removes the Forge source; authentication, network, and all other update failures are also fatal and never disable verification. If the installer reports the known `sqv` parsing failure and you deliberately accept HTTPS-only integrity without OpenPGP verification, opt in on a second run: ```bash export STOKE_ALLOW_UNVERIFIED_APT=1 curl -fsSL https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders/heavy-duty/stoke/raw/branch/main/scripts/install-apt.sh | bash unset STOKE_ALLOW_UNVERIFIED_APT ``` For a private registry, re-run the downloaded installer with `sudo --preserve-env=FORGE_USER,FORGE_TOKEN,STOKE_ALLOW_UNVERIFIED_APT` instead. This exact opt-in is the only path in the installer that writes a `[trusted=yes]` source. The installer prints the security trade-off again when it takes that path. As a fallback, each release also has the `.deb` attached for direct install: `sudo dpkg -i stoke__all.deb`. ### From source ```bash cd stoke npm install npm link # makes the `stoke` binary available globally ``` Or run it directly without linking: ```bash node src/cli.js ``` ## Configuration Authentication state is stored in a JSON file: - Default: `~/.config/stoke/config.json` (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/stoke/config.json` when `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is set) - Override with `--config ` or `STOKE_CONFIG_FILE` (or `FORGEJO_CONFIG_FILE` as a fallback) Note: the global `--config` flag must be passed before the subcommand, e.g. `stoke --config /path/to/config.json auth status`. The configuration directory is created with permissions `0700` and the file with `0600` so only the owner can read the token. Example stored config: ```json { "url": "https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders", "login": "kimi-bot-andresmgsl", "username": "kimi-bot-andresmgsl", "email": "andres+4@heavyduty.builders", "token": "", "tokenId": 42 } ``` ## Environment variables | Variable | Purpose | | --- | --- | | `STOKE_URL` | Default Forgejo base URL | | `STOKE_USERNAME` | Default username/email for `auth login` | | `STOKE_PASSWORD` | Default password for `auth login` | | `STOKE_CONFIG_FILE` | Path to the config file | | `STOKE_CONFIG_DIR` | Directory for the config file | | `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` | Followed when resolving the default config directory (`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/stoke`) | | `GITHUB_TOKEN` | GitHub token used by `repo import` and `repo import-batch` when `--github-token` is omitted | `FORGEJO_*` variants are still accepted as fallbacks for backward compatibility. ## Commands Read commands (`auth status`, `repo list`, `issue list`, `issue show`, `pr list`, `pr show`, `release list`, `release view`, `label list`, `branch list`, `org repos`, `org team list`, `org team member-list`, `user list`, `user show`) accept a `--json` flag that prints the raw API response, pretty-printed, instead of the human-readable format — useful for scripting. ### Global options ```text -c, --config path to configuration file -h, --help display help -V, --version display version ``` ### `stoke auth login` Authenticate and persist an access token. ```text Options: -u, --url Forgejo base URL (default: https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders) -n, --username account username or email -p, --password account password --password-file read account password from a file -t, --token use an existing personal access token instead of generating one --token-file read an existing personal access token from a file --token-name name for the generated token --full-scopes grant full read/write access on all non-admin scopes --scopes comma-separated list of scopes for the generated token ``` Interactive example: ```bash stoke auth login # prompts for username and password ``` Non-interactive example using environment variables: ```bash export STOKE_USERNAME='kimi-bot-andresmgsl' export STOKE_PASSWORD='...' stoke auth login ``` Password file example (avoids shell history and special-character issues): ```bash chmod 600 /run/secrets/stoke-password stoke auth login -n kimi-bot-andresmgsl --password-file /run/secrets/stoke-password ``` Existing token example: ```bash stoke auth login -t ``` Flow: 1. Calls `GET /api/v1/user` to verify credentials and resolve the canonical `login` name. 2. Calls `POST /api/v1/users/{login}/tokens` to generate a personal access token. 3. Requests the default least-privilege scopes (see "Token scopes" below). 4. Writes the token, token id, user details and URL to the config file. Token scopes: By default the generated token is least-privilege, covering the common issue/PR/repository commands: - `read:issue`, `write:issue` — issues, PR comments/reviews, labels - `read:repository`, `write:repository` — repositories, branches, releases, collaborators, pull requests - `read:user` — `auth status`, `user list`, `user show` - `read:organization` — `org repos`, `org team list`, `org team member-list` Organization administration (`org create`, `org avatar`, `org team create`, `org team member-add`, `org team member-remove`) and package publishing need broader access. Pass `--full-scopes` for the previous all-scopes behavior (`read`/`write` on `activitypub`, `issue`, `misc`, `organization`, `package`, `repository`, `user`), or `--scopes ` for a custom list: ```bash stoke auth login --scopes read:issue,write:issue,read:repository ``` The scopes the token was created with are printed after a successful login. ### `stoke auth logout` Revoke the stored token remotely and delete the local config. ```text Options: -p, --password account password, needed to revoke the token remotely --password-file read account password from a file --local-only skip remote revocation and only delete the local config ``` ```bash stoke auth logout # prompts for the password on a TTY stoke auth logout --password-file /run/secrets/pw # non-interactive stoke auth logout --local-only # keep the token active, just forget it locally ``` Forgejo only accepts Basic auth on its token endpoints — a token cannot revoke itself — so remote revocation needs the account password. Without one (or with `--local-only`), the token stays active on the server and can be revoked from the web UI under Settings > Applications. Flow: 1. Calls `DELETE /api/v1/users/{login}/tokens/{id}` using Basic auth. 2. Removes `~/.config/stoke/config.json`. ### `stoke auth status` Display the currently authenticated user. ```bash stoke auth status ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/user` with the stored token. ### `stoke repo clone` Clone a repository from the configured Forgejo instance using the stored credentials. ```text Arguments: [directory] destination directory (default: repository name) Options: -o, --owner repository owner (required) -r, --repo repository name (required) --branch checkout this branch instead of the default branch --depth create a shallow clone with the given history depth --origin name for the created remote (default: origin) ``` ```bash stoke repo clone -o heavy-duty -r stoke stoke repo clone -o heavy-duty -r stoke ~/src/stoke --depth 1 ``` The stored token is handed to git ephemerally through environment-based config (`GIT_CONFIG_*`): it never appears in the remote URL, on the command line, or in the cloned repository's `.git/config`. Git's output is streamed directly and its exit status is forwarded, so failures behave exactly like a plain `git clone`. ### `stoke repo sync` Fast-forward an undiverged imported repository from an upstream Git URL. ```text Options: -o, --owner repository owner (required) -r, --repo repository name (required) --from upstream Git URL (required) --branch branch to synchronize (default: the forge repository's default branch) --tags also create new upstream tags --dry-run report branch and tag moves without pushing ``` ```bash stoke repo sync -o heavy-duty -r box \ --from https://github.com/heavy-duty/box.git stoke repo sync -o heavy-duty -r box \ --from https://github.com/heavy-duty/box.git --tags --dry-run ``` The command fetches both branch tips into an ephemeral bare repository and pushes only when the forge tip is an ancestor of the upstream tip. It refuses a diverged tree with both commit SHAs and never offers a force option. With `--tags`, new upstream tags are created; an existing forge tag that points elsewhere is reported and left untouched, and the command exits non-zero after applying any other safe moves. The stored Forgejo token uses the same environment-only Git authentication as `repo clone` and is never written to an argument, remote, or Git config. This verb deliberately does not merge diverged trees, configure Forgejo pull-mirrors, or copy releases. Follow ceremony's live `docs/UPSTREAM-SYNC.md` procedure for a diverged tree; import a scheduled read-only repository as a pull-mirror; compose release mirroring from `release create` and `release upload`. ### `stoke repo create` Create a new repository for the authenticated user or an organization. ```text Options: --name repository name (required) -o, --owner repository owner (authenticated user or organization) -d, --description repository description --private make the repository private --public make the repository public --auto-init initialize with a README (default) --no-auto-init create an empty repository without a README --default-branch default branch name (default: "main") ``` Example: ```bash stoke repo create --name stoke-test --private \ -d "Test repository created via stoke" stoke repo create -o heavy-duty --name shared-project --private ``` When `--owner` is omitted or names the authenticated user (case-insensitively), calls `POST /api/v1/user/repos`. For another owner, calls `POST /api/v1/orgs/{owner}/repos`; Forgejo returns `403` when the caller cannot create repositories for that organization. ### `stoke repo list` List repositories for the authenticated user. ```text Options: -l, --limit maximum repositories to display (default: 50; use 0 for all) ``` ```bash stoke repo list ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/user/repos` and auto-paginates. ### `stoke repo import` Import a remote repository into Forgejo, including git history, issues, pull requests, labels, milestones, releases and wiki. ```text Options: --from source clone URL (required) --name repository name in Forgejo (required) --service source service type: git, github, gitea, gitlab, ... (default: github) --owner Forgejo owner for the imported repo (default: current user) -d, --description repository description --private / --public visibility --issues migrate issues (default) --no-issues skip issues --labels migrate labels (default) --no-labels skip labels --milestones migrate milestones (default) --no-milestones skip milestones --pull-requests migrate pull requests (default) --no-pull-requests skip pull requests --releases migrate releases (default) --no-releases skip releases --wiki migrate wiki (default) --no-wiki skip wiki --lfs migrate LFS objects --github-token source service token (for GitHub defaults to GITHUB_TOKEN or `gh auth token`) ``` A source token is only required when `--service github` (the default): it raises rate limits and enables private repositories. For other services (`git`, `gitlab`, `gitea`, ...) no token is sent unless one is explicitly provided. Example used to mirror `heavy-duty/box`: ```bash stoke repo import \ --from https://github.com/heavy-duty/box.git \ --name box \ --service github \ --public \ --issues --labels --milestones --pull-requests --releases --wiki ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/repos/migrate`. ### `stoke repo import-batch` Import multiple repositories from a JSON manifest. ```text Options: -f, --file path to JSON manifest (required) --dry-run print the manifest without importing ``` Manifest format: ```json [ { "name": "rig", "from": "https://github.com/heavy-duty/rig.git", "service": "github", "private": false, "issues": true, "labels": true, "milestones": true, "pull_requests": true, "releases": true, "wiki": true } ] ``` Example: ```bash stoke repo import-batch -f repos.json stoke repo import-batch -f repos.json --dry-run ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/repos/migrate` once per entry. ### `stoke repo rename` Rename a repository. ```text Options: -o, --owner repository owner (required) -r, --repo current repository name (required) --name new repository name (required) ``` ```bash stoke repo rename -o heavy-duty -r old-name --name new-name ``` Calls `PATCH /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}`. ### `stoke repo transfer` Transfer a repository to a new owner (a user or an organization). The authenticated user must have admin rights on the repository and permission to create repositories under the new owner (e.g. be an organization owner), in which case the transfer completes immediately. ```text Options: -o, --owner current repository owner (required) -r, --repo repository name (required) --to new owner: username or organization name (required) ``` Example used to move the heavy-duty repositories into the `heavy-duty` organization: ```bash stoke repo transfer -o kimi-bot-andresmgsl -r box --to heavy-duty ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/transfer`. ### `stoke issue list` List issues in a repository. ```text Options: -o, --owner repository owner (required) -r, --repo repository name (required) -s, --state open, closed, all (default: open) -t, --type issues or pulls (default: issues) -l, --limit maximum issues to display (default: 50; use 0 for all) ``` ```bash stoke issue list -o kimi-bot-andresmgsl -r box -s all -l 0 ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues` and auto-paginates. ### `stoke issue create` Create an issue in a repository. ```text Options: -o, --owner repository owner (required) -r, --repo repository name (required) -t, --title issue title (required) -b, --body <body> issue body (markdown) --body-file <path> read the issue body from a file --assignee <username...> assign the issue to one or more users --label <name...> apply one or more labels by name ``` ```bash stoke issue create -o heavy-duty -r stoke -t "Ship v2" --body-file body.md \ --label ready --label enhancement ``` Requested label names are resolved through the paginated repository label list, then their numeric IDs are included in `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues`. An unknown label fails before the issue is created. ### `stoke issue show` Show details of an issue. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -n, --number <number> issue number (required) --json print raw JSON instead of human-readable output ``` ```bash stoke issue show -o heavy-duty -r stoke -n 10 ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number}`. ### `stoke issue comment` Add a comment to an issue. Body is required (whitespace-only is rejected). When both `-b` and `--body-file` are set, **`--body-file` wins**. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -n, --number <number> issue number (required) -b, --body <body> comment body (markdown; required unless --body-file) --body-file <path> read the comment body from a file (wins over -b) ``` ```bash stoke issue comment -o heavy-duty -r stoke -n 10 -b "Confirmed." ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number}/comments`. ### `stoke pr list` List pull requests in a repository. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -s, --state <state> open, closed, all (default: open) -l, --limit <number> maximum PRs to display (default: 50; use 0 for all) ``` ```bash stoke pr list -o kimi-bot-andresmgsl -r box -s all -l 0 ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls` and auto-paginates. ### `stoke pr create` Create a pull request in a repository. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -t, --title <title> pull request title (required) --head <branch> source branch (required; for cross-repo PRs use user:branch) --base <branch> target branch (default: main) -b, --body <body> pull request body (markdown) --body-file <path> read the pull request body from a file ``` ```bash stoke pr create -o heavy-duty -r stoke -t "Fix config handling" \ --head fix/config --base main --body-file pr-body.md ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls`. ### `stoke pr merge` Merge a pull request. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -n, --number <number> pull request number (required) --method <method> merge, rebase, rebase-merge, squash (default: merge) --title <title> custom merge commit title --message <message> custom merge commit message --delete-branch delete the source branch after merging ``` ```bash stoke pr merge -o heavy-duty -r stoke -n 2 --delete-branch ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/merge`. ### `stoke pr show` Show details of a pull request. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -n, --number <number> pull request number (required) ``` ```bash stoke pr show -o heavy-duty -r stoke -n 3 ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}`. ### `stoke pr comment` Add a comment to a pull request. Body is required (whitespace-only is rejected). When both `-b` and `--body-file` are set, **`--body-file` wins**. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -n, --number <number> pull request number (required) -b, --body <body> comment body (markdown; required unless --body-file) --body-file <path> read the comment body from a file (wins over -b) ``` ```bash stoke pr comment -o heavy-duty -r stoke -n 3 -b "Looks good." ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number}/comments`. ### `stoke pr review` Submit a review on a pull request. `approve` / `approved` may omit a body; `request-changes` and `comment` require a non-empty body (raw body is preserved — only emptiness is checked with `trim()`). When both `-b` and `--body-file` are set, **`--body-file` wins**. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -n, --number <number> pull request number (required) --event <event> approve|approved, request-changes|request_changes, comment (required) -b, --body <body> review body (markdown; required for request-changes and comment) --body-file <path> read the review body from a file (wins over -b) --commit <sha> commit SHA the review applies to (sent as commit_id) ``` ```bash stoke pr review -o heavy-duty -r stoke -n 3 --event approve -b "Ship it." stoke pr review -o heavy-duty -r stoke -n 3 --event request-changes --body-file notes.md stoke pr review -o heavy-duty -r stoke -n 3 --event approve --commit 9fceb02 ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/reviews`. `--commit` is sent as `commit_id`; when omitted, no `commit_id` is sent. Prints the review URL when the forge returns one. ### `stoke release list` List releases in a repository. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -l, --limit <number> maximum releases to display (default: 50; use 0 for all) ``` ```bash stoke release list -o heavy-duty -r stoke ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases` and auto-paginates. ### `stoke release view` Show the release for a tag, including its notes and attached assets. Each asset line includes its filename, size in bytes and download URL. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) --tag <tag> tag name of the release (required) ``` ```bash stoke release view -o heavy-duty -r stoke --tag v1.2.1 ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/tags/{tag}`. ### `stoke release create` Create a release. If the tag does not exist yet, Forgejo creates it from `--target` (or the repository default branch). When both `-b` and `--body-file` are set, **`--body-file` wins**. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) --tag <tag> tag name for the release (required) --target <ref> branch or commit the tag is created from (default: default branch) -t, --title <title> release title (default: the tag name) -b, --body <body> release notes (markdown) --body-file <path> read the release notes from a file (wins over -b) --asset <path> attach an asset (repeatable) --asset-name <name> override the uploaded filename (exactly one asset) --draft create as a draft release --prerelease mark as a prerelease ``` ```bash stoke release create -o heavy-duty -r stoke --tag v1.3.0 \ --body-file release-notes.md --asset dist/stoke_1.3.0_all.deb ``` The command prints the numeric release id, tag and URL. It calls `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases`, then uploads each asset. If an upload fails, the release and any assets that already landed are kept; every asset is attempted, the command names successes and failures, and exits non-zero. ### `stoke release upload` Attach one or more assets to an existing release. `--asset-name` overrides the uploaded filename and is valid only when exactly one `--asset` is supplied. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) --tag <tag> tag name of the existing release (required) --asset <path> asset to upload (required, repeatable) --asset-name <name> override the uploaded filename (exactly one asset) ``` ```bash stoke release upload -o heavy-duty -r stoke --tag v1.3.0 \ --asset dist/checksums.txt --asset dist/stoke_1.3.0_all.deb ``` The command resolves the tag once with `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/tags/{tag}`, then uploads each file to the release's numeric-id asset endpoint. It attempts every asset and exits non-zero if any upload fails. ### `stoke label list` List labels in a repository. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -l, --limit <number> maximum labels to display (default: 50; use 0 for all) ``` ```bash stoke label list -o heavy-duty -r stoke ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/labels` and auto-paginates. ### `stoke label create` Create a label in a repository. The color is validated (6 hex digits, with or without a leading `#`) before any network call. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) --name <name> label name (required) --color <color> label color, 6 hex digits (required) -d, --description <description> label description ``` ```bash stoke label create -o heavy-duty -r stoke --name release --color 0E8A16 \ -d "Release flow and version/packaging work" ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/labels`. ### `stoke label delete` Delete a label from a repository, by `--id` or `--name` (exactly one is required; passing both is rejected). ```bash stoke label delete -o heavy-duty -r stoke --name needs-triage ``` Calls `DELETE /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/labels/{id}`. A `--name` is resolved to an id via the repository label list first. ### `stoke label add` Add labels to an issue or pull request (PRs are issues as far as labels are concerned). ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -n, --number <number> issue or pull request number (required) --name <name...> one or more label names (required) ``` ```bash stoke label add -o heavy-duty -r stoke -n 12 --name release scope:cli ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number}/labels`. Names are resolved to ids first; an unknown name fails with `Label not found`. ### `stoke label remove` Remove labels from an issue or pull request. ```bash stoke label remove -o heavy-duty -r stoke -n 12 --name needs-triage ``` Calls `DELETE /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number}/labels/{id}` once per label. ### `stoke branch list` List branches in a repository. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -l, --limit <number> maximum branches to display (default: 50; use 0 for all) ``` ```bash stoke branch list -o kimi-bot-andresmgsl -r box ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/branches` and auto-paginates. ### `stoke collaborator add` Add a collaborator to a repository. ```text Options: -o, --owner <owner> repository owner (required) -r, --repo <repo> repository name (required) -u, --user <username> username of the collaborator (required) --permission <permission> read, write, or admin (default: write) ``` Example: ```bash stoke collaborator add -o kimi-bot-andresmgsl -r infra -u andres --permission admin stoke collaborator add -o kimi-bot-andresmgsl -r infra -u dan --permission admin ``` Calls `PUT /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/collaborators/{user}`. ### `stoke org create` Create a new organization. The authenticated user becomes its first owner. ```text Options: --name <name> organization username, used in URLs (required) --full-name <full-name> display name of the organization -d, --description <description> organization description --website <website> organization website --location <location> organization location --visibility <visibility> public, limited, private (default: public) ``` Example used to create the Heavy Duty Builders organization: ```bash stoke org create --name heavy-duty --full-name "Heavy Duty Builders" \ --website https://heavyduty.builders --visibility public ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/orgs`. ### `stoke org repos` List repositories owned by an organization. ```text Options: -o, --org <org> organization name (required) -l, --limit <number> maximum repositories to display (default: 50; use 0 for all) ``` ```bash stoke org repos -o heavy-duty -l 0 ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/orgs/{org}/repos` and auto-paginates. ### `stoke org avatar` Set the avatar (logo) of an organization from a local image file. The image is read, base64-encoded and uploaded; the caller must be an owner of the organization. ```text Options: -o, --org <org> organization name (required) -f, --file <path> path to the image file (png, jpeg, gif, ...) (required) ``` Example used to set the Heavy Duty Builders logo (sourced from the official GitHub organization avatar at `https://github.com/heavy-duty.png`): ```bash stoke org avatar -o heavy-duty -f heavy-duty-logo.png ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/orgs/{org}/avatar`. ### `stoke org team list` List teams in an organization. ```bash stoke org team list -o heavy-duty ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/orgs/{org}/teams` and auto-paginates. ### `stoke org team create` Create a team in an organization. ```text Options: -o, --org <org> organization name (required) --name <name> team name (required) -d, --description <description> team description --permission <permission> read, write, admin (default: read) --all-repos grant access to all current and future org repositories --can-create-repo allow members to create repositories in the organization --units <units> comma-separated team units (default: repo.code,repo.issues,repo.pulls,repo.releases,repo.wiki,repo.projects) ``` Example used to create the regular members team: ```bash stoke org team create -o heavy-duty --name members --permission write --all-repos ``` Calls `POST /api/v1/orgs/{org}/teams`. ### `stoke org team member-list` List members of a team. Requires being a member of that team (or an instance admin). ```bash stoke org team member-list --team-id 2 ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/teams/{id}/members` and auto-paginates. ### `stoke org team member-add` Add a user to a team. Adding a user to any team also makes them a member of the organization; membership in the `Owners` team is what makes a user an organization admin. ```text Options: --team-id <id> team id, see `stoke org team list` (required) -u, --user <username> username to add (required) ``` Example used to make Dan and Andres organization admins: ```bash stoke org team member-add --team-id 1 -u andres stoke org team member-add --team-id 1 -u dan ``` Calls `PUT /api/v1/teams/{id}/members/{username}`. ### `stoke org team member-remove` Remove a user from a team. ```text Options: --team-id <id> team id, see `stoke org team list` (required) -u, --user <username> username to remove (required) ``` ```bash stoke org team member-remove --team-id 1 -u kimi-bot-andresmgsl ``` Calls `DELETE /api/v1/teams/{id}/members/{username}`. ### `stoke user list` Search/list users on the Forgejo instance. Non-admin searches are visibility-limited: an empty query typically returns only the authenticated user. ```text Options: -q, --query <query> search query (default: empty) -l, --limit <number> maximum users to display (default: 50; use 0 for all) ``` ```bash stoke user list -q andres ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/users/search` and auto-paginates. ### `stoke user show` Show a single user profile. Useful to check whether a username exists. ```bash stoke user show -u andres ``` Calls `GET /api/v1/users/{username}`. ### `stoke api` Make an authenticated request to any Forgejo API endpoint and print the JSON response. The escape hatch for everything stoke does not wrap yet — pass the endpoint path without the `/api/v1` prefix. ```text Arguments: <endpoint> endpoint path starting with / (required) Options: -X, --method <method> GET, POST, PUT, PATCH or DELETE (default: GET, or POST when --input is given) --input <json> JSON request body, inline or @path to read from a file --paginate fetch all pages (GET endpoints returning a JSON array); overrides any limit/page in the endpoint ``` ```bash stoke api /user stoke api "/repos/heavy-duty/stoke/pulls?state=closed" --paginate stoke api /repos/heavy-duty/stoke/issues/12/comments --input '{"body":"hi"}' stoke api /repos/heavy-duty/stoke/contents/CHANGELOG.md --input @payload.json ``` Calls `{METHOD} /api/v1{endpoint}` with the stored token. The endpoint must start with `/`; the method, `--paginate` + non-GET, `GET` + `--input` (a GET cannot carry a body), and malformed `--input` JSON are all rejected before any network call. **Security:** `stoke api` is a full authenticated passthrough — it does anything the stored token is allowed to do. Never interpolate untrusted strings (issue titles, PR bodies, user input) into the endpoint or `--input`; treat every call like the credential it carries. ## Architecture ```text src/ ├── cli.js # Commander program, commands and user I/O ├── api.js # Forgejo API client (fetch wrapper) └── config.js # Secure filesystem-based config storage test/ ├── cli.test.js # end-to-end CLI behavior (spawned processes) ├── api.test.js # API client with a mocked fetch └── config.test.js # config path resolution and persistence scripts/ ├── build-deb.sh # build dist/stoke_<version>_all.deb ├── publish-deb.sh # upload a .deb to the Forgejo Debian registry └── install-apt.sh # consumer-side apt source setup + install .forgejo/workflows/ └── release.yml # tag-driven build + publish + release attachment ``` - `cli.js` defines commands and options, handles prompts and prints results. - `api.js` encapsulates all HTTP calls to Forgejo. It supports both Basic auth (for the token endpoints, which reject token auth) and token auth (for all other calls). - `config.js` reads/writes JSON config and enforces restrictive file permissions. Paths are resolved lazily so the global `--config` flag works. ## Testing The test suite uses the Node.js built-in test runner — no extra dependencies: ```bash npm test ``` ## Packaging and releasing The Debian package is a pure-JS `Architecture: all` package that ships the CLI to `/usr/lib/stoke` with a `/usr/bin/stoke` symlink and declares `Depends: nodejs (>= 22.12)`. Build locally (needs `dpkg-deb`; runs `lintian` when installed): ```bash scripts/build-deb.sh # -> dist/stoke_<version>_all.deb ``` Publish to the Forgejo Debian registry (uses `STOKE_TOKEN` or the `stoke auth login` token; the account needs package write access on the owner): ```bash scripts/publish-deb.sh dist/stoke_<version>_all.deb heavy-duty stable main ``` Releases are automated in `.forgejo/workflows/release.yml`: pushing a `v*` tag runs the tests, builds the `.deb`, publishes it to the `heavy-duty` registry and attaches it to the tag's release page. The workflow needs a Forgejo Actions runner and a `RELEASE_TOKEN` secret (package + repository write for the `heavy-duty` org); adjust `runs-on` to a label your runner advertises. Release checklist: 1. Bump `version` in `package.json` and `package-lock.json`. 2. Commit, tag `v<version>`, push the tag. 3. CI publishes the package; consumers get it with `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade`. ## Security notes - Tokens are stored on disk with `0600` permissions. - Passwords are never persisted; they are only used to generate (and revoke) a token, and interactive password prompts do not echo to the terminal. - Prefer `--password-file` or `STOKE_PASSWORD` over `-p` to keep passwords out of shell history and avoid `!` history-expansion issues. - The generated token name includes the hostname and a timestamp to avoid collisions. ## Verification: heavy-duty repository imports The heavy-duty repositories were imported into Forgejo under `https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders/kimi-bot-andresmgsl` and later transferred to the `heavy-duty` organization (`https://forgejo.heavyduty.builders/heavy-duty`) using `stoke repo transfer`. | Repository | Visibility | Branches | Commits | Open issues | Total issues | PRs | Labels | Milestones | Releases | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `box` | public | 1 | 306 | 11 | 65 | 92 | 21 | 0 | 4 | | `rig` | public | 1 | 198 | 10 | 49 | 59 | 21 | 0 | 3 | | `cast` | public | 1 | 194 | 7 | 67 | 75 | 21 | 0 | 3 | | `infra` | private | 1 | 86 | 2 | 8 | 22 | 9 | 0 | 0 | | `handbook` | private | 1 | 29 | 28 | 28 | 13 | 9 | 5 | 0 | | `incubator` | private | 1 | 1,326 | 1 | 1 | 23 | 9 | 0 | 0 | Counts match GitHub for all repositories.

The `cast` wiki is enabled on GitHub but contains no pages, so nothing was migrated. ## Next steps The CLI is authenticated and the first full repository import is complete. Every subsequent Forgejo task you need will be added as a new command under `stoke`. ## Why the name `stoke`? The heavy-duty handbook defines a strict naming style for tools: - **one syllable**, plain concrete English — industrial: the shop floor and the site - **a repurposed common word**, never coined jargon - **a verb⇄noun with a double meaning** that hints at the job Existing tools follow this exactly: `cast` pours a part and is the part; `rig` sets up and is the setup; `jig` holds work and is the fixture; `boss` runs the site and is the supervisor; `hand` works and is the worker; `gig` is a one-off job and the job itself; `gauge` measures and is the instrument. The handbook calls the Forgejo instance **"the forge"** — the coordination home where issues, PRs, reviews, and git state live. A forge only stays useful if someone feeds it fuel and air. *To stoke* a fire is to tend it and keep it burning. This CLI does the same thing programmatically: it creates repos, opens issues, imports projects, adds collaborators — it keeps the forge active. `stoke` also fits the operator relationship. While `jig`, `boss`, `hand`, and `gauge` are autonomous or daemon-like, this tool is the operator's hand on the forge. You don't forge by accident; you stoke on purpose. Other names were considered and rejected: - `forge` — too literal; the forge is the platform, not the tool. - `tap` — machining term, but "tapping" is about threading holes, not tending a forge. - `weld` / `braze` — join-metal verbs, but the CLI is not primarily joining things. - `die` / `mold` / `stamp` — shaping tools, but `die` carries a strong negative meaning and `mold` has the fungus connotation. - `quench` — forge-related, but quenching cools/finishes; the CLI starts and feeds work. - `draft` / `blast` — air-feeding the forge, but feel like background services, not an operator CLI. - `flux` — nice metaphor for flow, but reads as chemistry rather than the forge shop. `stoke` was the only candidate that was clearly forge-specific, operator-facing, one syllable, and already a common verb/noun.
