CommiTea (desktop)

An AI project manager for Gitea, as an Electron desktop app. The token stays in the main process (OS keychain via safeStorage); the renderer never sees it.

Develop

yarn dev          # electron-vite dev, HMR renderer + main (logs → desktop.log)
yarn typecheck
yarn e2e          # builds, then Playwright against the built main (fixtures/demo)

For a live pass against a real Gitea, put a token in .env.local (GITEA_TOKEN=…) and run GITEA_LIVE=1 yarn e2e live-onboarding.

Package (shareable macOS .dmg)

yarn pack         # unpacked .app for the host arch (fast sanity check) → dist/
yarn dist         # arm64 + x64 .dmg → dist/CommiTea-<version>[-arm64].dmg

Config is electron-builder.yml. Builds are unsigned (no Apple certs, by decision) — electron-builder ad-hoc signs so the app can run, but it is not notarized. Bump version in package.json for a new release; keep electronVersion in electron-builder.yml in sync with the electron devDependency.

Installing a shared build (teammates)

macOS Gatekeeper blocks unsigned apps on first launch. To open:

  1. Open the .dmg and drag CommiTea to Applications.
  2. In Applications, right-click CommiTea → Open, then confirm Open in the dialog. (Double-clicking the first time just shows "cannot be opened".)
  3. It opens to the connection screen — enter your Gitea base URL, owner/repo, and a personal access token (repo scope). Each teammate uses their own token, so activity is attributed correctly. A model URL is optional; chat is disabled until one is configured, everything else works without it.

Grab the -arm64 dmg on Apple Silicon, the plain one on Intel.
