Restructure documentation. Now the documentation has installation, administration, usage, development, contributing the 5 main parts (#23629)
- **Installation**: includes how to install Gitea and related other
tools, also includes upgrade Gitea
- **Administration**: includes how to configure Gitea, customize Gitea
and manage Gitea instance out of Gitea admin UI
- **Usage**: includes how to use Gitea's functionalities. A sub
documentation is about packages, in future we could also include CI/CD
and others.
- **Development**: includes how to integrate with Gitea's API, how to
develop new features within Gitea
- **Contributing**: includes how to contribute code to Gitea
repositories.

After this is merged, I think we can have a sub-documentation of `Usage`
part named `Actions` to describe how to use Gitea actions

# NuGet Packages Repository
Publish [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/) packages for your user or organization. The package registry supports the V2 and V3 API protocol and you can work with [NuGet Symbol Packages](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/create-packages/symbol-packages-snupkg) too.
**Table of Contents**
{{< toc >}}
## Requirements
To work with the NuGet package registry, you can use command-line interface tools as well as NuGet features in various IDEs like Visual Studio.
More information about NuGet clients can be found in [the official documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/install-nuget-client-tools).
The following examples use the `dotnet nuget` tool.
## Configuring the package registry
To register the package registry you need to configure a new NuGet feed source:
```shell
dotnet nuget add source --name {source_name} --username {username} --password {password} https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/nuget/index.json
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ------------- | ----------- |
| `source_name` | The desired source name. |
| `username` | Your Gitea username. |
| `password` | Your Gitea password. If you are using 2FA or OAuth use a [personal access token]({{< relref "doc/development/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}}) instead of the password. |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
For example:
```shell
dotnet nuget add source --name gitea --username testuser --password password123 https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/nuget/index.json
```
You can add the source without credentials and use the [`--api-key`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-nuget-push) parameter when publishing packages. In this case you need to provide a [personal access token]({{< relref "doc/development/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}}).
## Publish a package
Publish a package by running the following command:
```shell
dotnet nuget push --source {source_name} {package_file}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| -------------- | ----------- |
| `source_name` | The desired source name. |
| `package_file` | Path to the package `.nupkg` file. |
For example:
```shell
dotnet nuget push --source gitea test_package.1.0.0.nupkg
```
You cannot publish a package if a package of the same name and version already exists. You must delete the existing package first.
### Symbol Packages
The NuGet package registry has build support for a symbol server. The PDB files embedded in a symbol package (`.snupkg`) can get requested by clients.
To do so, register the NuGet package registry as symbol source:
```
https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/nuget/symbols
```
| Parameter | Description |
| --------- | ----------- |
| `owner` | The owner of the package registry. |
For example:
```
https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/nuget/symbols
```
## Install a package
To install a NuGet package from the package registry, execute the following command:
```shell
dotnet add package --source {source_name} --version {package_version} {package_name}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ----------------- | ----------- |
| `source_name` | The desired source name. |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
| `package_version` | The package version. |
For example:
```shell
dotnet add package --source gitea --version 1.0.0 test_package
```
## Supported commands
```
dotnet add
dotnet nuget push
dotnet nuget delete
```
