3- Where do I log in? :: You do not, for most things. The web is read
4 (and light write) — mint a browser session with =gitbay web login=.
5- Pull requests? :: Merge requests: =gitbay mr create= from a branch or
6 fork; merges are ff/merge/squash/rebase with signature policy.
7- Stacked PRs? :: Target another open merge request's source branch.
8 The forge reads the stack from the branches, retargets what is above
9 when the one below merges, and refuses squash or rebase under a stack.
10 No stack command; the workflow is branches. See
11 [[Stacked-MRs][Stacked merge requests]].
12- Moving from GitHub or Codeberg? :: =gitbay repo import= (git data)
13 then =gitbay repo import-issues= (history, from GitHub or any Forgejo
14 =--api-base=); =repo mirror= covers the transition window.
15- What is not planned? :: A container or package registry (scope creep
16 away from "forge"; external registries integrate through CI), an
17 email patch flow (revisit only if sourcehut-style demand appears),
18 federation and Postgres (no need at this scale). Recorded so the
19 absence reads as a decision, not an oversight.
20- Does CI run for my repository on gitbay.org? :: On a runner you
21 attach. The instance's own runner builds the forge's repositories and
22 its isolation canary, since it shares the host with the forge.
23 Install =gitbay-runner= on a machine of yours, run =gitbay-runner
24 init=, and attach the key it prints with =repo runner add= or on the
25 repository's settings page; see the Users page. A self-hosted
26 instance can do the same, or run one runner for whichever
27 repositories its operator attaches it to.
