-+# Gitea status plugin
-+#
-+# Sends per-commit build status to Gitea repositories, filtered by
-+# jobs and jobset inputs.
-+#
-+# Configure like this:
-+#
-+# <giteastatus>
-+#     # Create one in Gitea at Settings -> Applications ->
-+#     # Manage Access Tokens -> Generate Token
-+#     token = 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
-+#     # Regexes matching the jobs separated by whitespace
-+#     jobs = sandbox:.*:test sandbox:release:release
-+#     # Names of matching jobset inputs separated by whitespace
-+#     inputs = sandbox
-+# </giteastatus>
