@ -129,3 +129,7 @@ This key should be kept secure and only readable by the Basic Builder user.
On the repository side, the key should be added as a deploy key (e.g. in Gitea, under the repository `Settings` -> `Deploy Keys`) for the specific repositories that require it.
Note that enabling deploy keys in the worker will require *all repositories* using it to be configured with the key. Once specified, Basic Builder will always use the SSH key method.
## Why?
I recently moved my Git repositories from a GitLab instance to Gitea. While I love Gitea, I missed the simplicity of GitLab CI. For most of my CI tasks, I'm running one or two simple commands or shell scripts on a single runner system, and I found that all the other CI tools out there were too big, cumbersome, and complex for my very simple needs. Thus, I created Basic Builder to do exactly what I want my CI to do, and nothing more. Hopefully it's useful to someone else as well!
