-How to set up Gitea CLI and repos on git.idunara.com
\ No newline at end of file
+Private Gitea instance at **https://git.idunara.com**
+
+- SSH port: **222**
+- Web: **https://git.idunara.com**
+- CLI tool: [tea](https://gitea.com/gitea/tea)
+
+---
+
+## 1. New Device Setup
+
+Run these steps once on any new machine.
+
+### Install tea
+
+```bash
+brew install tea
+```
+
+### Generate SSH key (skip if you already have one)
+
+```bash
+ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "my-device-name"
+```
+
+### Configure SSH for Gitea
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.ssh
+cat >> ~/.ssh/config << 'EOF'
+
+Host git.idunara.com
+    Port 222
+    User git
+    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
+EOF
+chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config
+```
+
+### Add your SSH key to Gitea
+
+1. Copy your public key:
+   ```bash
+   cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
+   ```
+2. Go to https://git.idunara.com/user/settings/keys
+3. Click **Add Key**, paste it, save.
+
+### Log in with tea
+
+```bash
+tea login add --name git.idunara.com --url https://git.idunara.com --user emmanuel
+```
+
+You will be prompted for your password. This creates a local token.
+
+### Verify
+
+```bash
+tea repo ls
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Create a New Repo
+
+```bash
+tea repo create --name my-project --init --private && tea clone emmanuel/my-project
+```
+
+Then start working:
+
+```bash
+cd my-project
+# ... write code ...
+git add .
+git commit -m "initial commit"
+git push
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Add Gitea to an Existing Repo
+
+From inside your project directory:
+
+```bash
+tea repo create --name my-project --private
+git remote add origin git@git.idunara.com:emmanuel/my-project.git
+git push -u origin main
+```
+
+Note: don't use `--init` here since you already have commits.
+
+---
+
+## Shell Helper (optional)
+
+Add this to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`:
+
+```bash
+ginit() {
+  if [ -z "$1" ]; then
+    echo "Usage: ginit <repo-name> [--existing]"
+    return 1
+  fi
+  if [ "$2" = "--existing" ]; then
+    tea repo create --name "$1" --private
+    git remote add origin "git@git.idunara.com:emmanuel/$1.git"
+    git push -u origin main
+  else
+    tea repo create --name "$1" --init --private && tea clone "emmanuel/$1"
+    cd "$1"
+  fi
+}
+```
+
+Usage:
+
+```bash
+# New project (creates repo + clones it)
+ginit my-project
+
+# Existing project (creates repo + adds remote + pushes)
+cd my-existing-project
+ginit my-existing-project --existing
+```
