+# Gitea Access for NaviDocs
+
+## Repository Status
+
+✅ **Repository exists and is functional** - All code is pushed and accessible
+
+## Current Situation
+
+The NaviDocs repository was created via `git push` (Gitea's ENABLE_PUSH_CREATE feature), which creates the Git repository on disk but **doesn't register it in Gitea's database**. This means:
+
+- ✅ **Git operations work** (clone, push, pull, etc.)
+- ❌ **Web UI doesn't show the repository** (404 on http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs)
+- ❌ **API doesn't list the repository**
+
+## Working Git Access
+
+**Repository Location**: `/home/setup/gitea/data/repos/ggq-admin/navidocs.git`
+
+**Git Remote URL**: `http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs.git`
+
+**All Git commands work**:
+```bash
+# Clone
+git clone http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs.git
+
+# Check commits
+cd /home/setup/navidocs
+git log --oneline
+# Shows all 20 commits ✅
+
+# Verify remote
+git ls-remote origin
+# Shows: bf9303228dbf49b4e31121665d6904b289268374 refs/heads/master ✅
+
+# Push/pull
+git push origin master  # Works ✅
+git pull origin master  # Works ✅
+```
+
+## Workaround Options
+
+### Option 1: Use Git Directly (Current - Works)
+Continue using Git commands directly. The repository is fully functional via Git, you just can't browse it in the Gitea web UI.
+
+**Pros**: Already working, no changes needed
+**Cons**: No web UI browsing
+
+### Option 2: Manually Register in Gitea Database
+Use Gitea's `doctor` command to check and repair the repository database:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/setup/gitea
+./gitea doctor check --run=doctor-check-db-consistency
+./gitea doctor recreate-table
+```
+
+**Note**: This requires stopping Gitea service first.
+
+### Option 3: Create Fresh via Web UI
+1. Log into Gitea web UI: http://localhost:4000
+2. Click "+" → "New Repository"
+3. Name: navidocs-web
+4. Create repository
+5. Push code to new repository
+
+```bash
+cd /home/setup/navidocs
+git remote rename origin origin-old
+git remote add origin http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs-web.git
+git push -u origin master
+```
+
+### Option 4: Use Different Git Hosting (Recommended for Production)
+- **GitHub**: https://github.com
+- **GitLab**: https://gitlab.com
+- **Bitbucket**: https://bitbucket.org
+
+All offer free private repositories with better UI/features than self-hosted Gitea.
+
+## Current Status (As-Is)
+
+**Git Repository**: ✅ Fully functional
+- Location: `/home/setup/gitea/data/repos/ggq-admin/navidocs.git`
+- Commits: 20 total
+- Branch: master
+- Latest commit: bf93032 "docs: Add session status summary"
+
+**Code Status**: ✅ All code committed and pushed
+- Database schema: ✅
+- Backend API: ✅
+- OCR services (3 engines): ✅
+- Documentation (17 files): ✅
+- StackCP evaluation: ✅
+- Everything is in Git
+
+**Verification**:
+```bash
+# Clone from Gitea (works)
+cd /tmp
+git clone http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs.git navidocs-test
+cd navidocs-test
+ls -la  # Shows all files ✅
+git log --oneline | wc -l  # Shows 20 commits ✅
+```
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**For Now**: Use Git directly (Option 1)
+- Your code is safe and versioned
+- All Git operations work perfectly
+- No data loss risk
+
+**For Production**: Use GitHub/GitLab (Option 4)
+- Better UI/collaboration features
+- Free private repositories
+- CI/CD integration
+- Issue tracking
+
+## Accessing Your Code
+
+**Local Development**:
+```bash
+cd /home/setup/navidocs
+# All code is here, fully up to date
+```
+
+**Clone to Another Machine**:
+```bash
+git clone http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs.git
+```
+
+**Or Clone from Filesystem** (if Gitea is down):
+```bash
+git clone /home/setup/gitea/data/repos/ggq-admin/navidocs.git
+```
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+```bash
+# Verify repository exists
+ls -la /home/setup/gitea/data/repos/ggq-admin/navidocs.git/
+
+# Check commits
+cd /home/setup/navidocs
+git log --oneline | head -10
+
+# Verify remote connection
+git ls-remote origin
+
+# Clone test
+cd /tmp
+git clone http://localhost:4000/ggq-admin/navidocs.git test-clone
+cd test-clone && ls -la
+```
+
+All these work perfectly! ✅
+
+---
+
+**Bottom Line**: Your NaviDocs code is **safe, versioned, and accessible via Git**. The Gitea web UI issue is cosmetic - all actual Git functionality works fine.
+
+For viewing/browsing code, use:
+- Local filesystem: `/home/setup/navidocs/`
+- VS Code: `code /home/setup/navidocs/`
+- Git commands: `git log`, `git show`, `git diff`
+
+**No data loss. Everything is committed and pushed.** ✅
