I think that any guides you find for Gitea + Renovate should work still for Forgejo + Renovate.

I believe the process is:

• Create Forgejo instance
• Create a user for Renovate within Forgejo
• Using the CLI on your local machine (or another tool to complete this step), create an SSH public/private key for the Renovate user
• Log into Forgejo using the Renovate user and configure the previously created SSH keys and separately generate a Forgejo token
• Create a Renovate instance with settings for at least RENOVATE_GIT_PRIVATE_KEY (SSH private key value), RENOVATE_TOKEN (Forgejo token value), RENOVATE_PLATFORM (gitea), RENOVATE_ENDPOINT (Forgejo API base URL), and any other Renovate settings that you may find helpful/necessary to configure (eg: GITHUB_COM_TOKEN, RENOVATE_AUTODISCOVER, etc.)
• Depending on how you want things to work, you may need to give the Renovate Forgejo user access to individual repos

uv

It is made by the Astral team, who made ruff and are working on a static type checker. They’re making great Python tooling and uv is no exception.

It is not clear that this is the app that will be used for the new watches. I imagine it will support the new RePebble watches, but I believe that app was intended for the original Pebble watches.

The thing that makes it so unclear to me is that this is a repo owned by the Rebble team, not the RePebble team. I do not know how much overlap there is between the two teams, but the RePebble team does not have any open source repos that I could find. Any mention of open source software by RePebble (including the OS) are links to repos owned by other teams, which is a little concerning.

I understand that the watch operating system is open source. However, it seems that the watch will connect to a companion smartphone app. Do you know if the app is a requirement and/or if the app will be open source?
