This is useful for automation and for allowing users to create repositories without having to go through the web interface. This feature is disabled by default. + +## Enabling Push To Create +In the `app.ini` file, set `ENABLE_PUSH_CREATE_USER` to `true` and `ENABLE_PUSH_CREATE_ORG` to `true` if you want to allow users to create repositories in their own user account and in organizations they are a member of respectively. Restart Gitea for the changes to take effect. You can read more about these two options in the [Configuration Cheat Sheet]({{< relref "doc/advanced/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md#repository-repository" >}}). + +## Using Push To Create + +Assuming you have a git repository in the current directory, you can push to a repository that does not exist yet in Gitea by running the following command: + +```shell +# Add the remote you want to push to +git remote add origin git@{domain}:{username}/{repo name that does not exist yet}.git + +# push to the remote +git push -u origin main +``` + +This assumes you are using an SSH remote, but you can also use HTTPS remotes as well. \ No newline at end of file
