Refactor docs (#23752)
This was intended to be a small followup for
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23712, but...here we are.
1. Our docs currently use `slug` as the entire URL, which makes
refactoring tricky (see https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23712).
Instead, this PR attempts to make future refactoring easier by using
slugs as an extension of the section. (Hugo terminology)
- What the above boils down to is this PR attempts to use directory
organization as URL management. e.g. `usage/comparison.en-us.md` ->
`en-us/usage/comparison/`, `usage/packages/overview.en-us.md` ->
`en-us/usage/packages/overview/`
- Technically we could even remove `slug`, as Hugo defaults to using
filename, however at least with this PR it means `slug` only needs to be
the name for the **current file** rather than an entire URL
2. This PR adds appropriate aliases (redirects) for pages, so anything
on the internet that links to our docs should hopefully not break.
3. A minor nit I've had for a while, renaming `seek-help` to `support`.
It's a minor thing, but `seek-help` has a strange connotation to it.
4. The commits are split such that you can review the first which is the
"actual" change, and the second is added redirects so that the first
doesn't break links elsewhere.

# Permissions
**Table of Contents**
{{< toc > }}
Gitea supports permissions for repository so that you can give different access for different people. At first, we need to know about `Unit` .
## Unit
In Gitea, we call a sub module of a repository `Unit` . Now we have following units.
| Name | Description | Permissions |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| Code | Access source code, files, commits and branches. | Read Write |
| Issues | Organize bug reports, tasks and milestones. | Read Write |
| PullRequests | Enable pull requests and code reviews. | Read Write |
| Releases | Track project versions and downloads. | Read Write |
| Wiki | Write and share documentation with collaborators. | Read Write |
| ExternalWiki | Link to an external wiki | Read |
| ExternalTracker | Link to an external issue tracker | Read |
| Projects | The URL to the template repository | Read Write |
| Settings | Manage the repository | Admin |
With different permissions, people could do different things with these units.
| Name | Read | Write | Admin |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Code | View code trees, files, commits, branches and etc. | Push codes. | - |
| Issues | View issues and create new issues. | Add labels, assign, close | - |
| PullRequests | View pull requests and create new pull requests. | Add labels, assign, close | - |
| Releases | View releases and download files. | Create/Edit releases | - |
| Wiki | View wiki pages. Clone the wiki repository. | Create/Edit wiki pages, push | - |
| ExternalWiki | Link to an external wiki | - | - |
| ExternalTracker | Link to an external issue tracker | - | - |
| Projects | View the boards | Change issues across boards | - |
| Settings | - | - | Manage the repository |
And there are some differences for permissions between individual repositories and organization repositories.
## Individual Repository
2022-07-28 01:22:47 +00:00
For individual repositories, the creators are the only owners of repositories and have no limit to change anything of this

repository or delete it. Repositories owners could add collaborators to help maintain the repositories. Collaborators could have `Read` , `Write` and `Admin` permissions.
## Organization Repository
Different from individual repositories, the owner of organization repositories are the owner team of this organization.
### Team
A team in an organization has unit permissions settings. It can have members and repositories scope. A team could access all the repositories in this organization or special repositories changed by the owner team. A team could also be allowed to create new
repositories.
2022-06-22 00:53:53 +00:00
The owner team will be created when the organization is created, and the creator will become the first member of the owner team.
Every member of an organization must be in at least one team. The owner team cannot be deleted and only
members of the owner team can create a new team. An admin team can be created to manage some of the repositories, whose members can do anything with these repositories.
The Generate team can be created by the owner team to do the operations allowed by their permissions.
