| # Agit Setup
 | |
| 
 | |
| In Gitea `1.13`, support for [agit](https://git-repo.info/en/2020/03/agit-flow-and-git-repo/) was added.
 | |
| **Note**: git version 2.29 or higher is required on the server side for this to work.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Creating PRs with Agit
 | |
| 
 | |
| Agit allows to create PRs while pushing code to the remote repo.
 | |
| This can be done by pushing to the branch followed by a specific refspec (a location identifier known to git).
 | |
| The following example illustrates this:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```shell
 | |
| git push origin HEAD:refs/for/main
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| The command has the following structure:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - `HEAD`: The target branch
 | |
| - `origin`: The target repository (not a fork!)
 | |
| - `HEAD`: The local branch containing the changes you are proposing
 | |
| - `refs/<for|draft|for-review>/<branch>`: The target PR type and configuration
 | |
|   - `for`: Create a normal PR with `<branch>` as the target branch
 | |
|   - `draft`/`for-review`: Currently ignored silently
 | |
|   - `<branch>/`: The branch you want your changes to be merged into
 | |
| - `-o <topic|title|description>`: Options for the PR
 | |
|   - `topic`: The topic of this change. It will become the name of the branch holding the changes waiting for review.  This is REQUIRED to trigger a pull request.
 | |
|   - `title`: The PR title (optional but recommended), only used for topics not already having an associated PR.
 | |
|   - `description`: The PR description (optional but recommended), only used for topics not already having an associated PR.
 | |
|   - `force-push`: confirm force update the target branch
 | |
| 
 | |
| Here's another advanced example for creating a new PR targeting `main` with `topic`, `title`, and `description`:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```shell
 | |
| git push origin HEAD:refs/for/main -o topic="Topic of my PR" -o title="Title of the PR" -o description="# The PR Description\nThis can be **any** markdown content.\n- [x] Ok"
 | |
| ```
