No more Settings -> Deploy Keys on an unitialized repository

[hweidner]

Description

When creating a new uninitialized repository, the Settings menu does not offer the Deploy Keys option any more. Only Repository, Collaborators and Webhooks are shown. Older repositories also offer Branches, Tags, Deploy Keys, and LFS.

The behaviour has changed within the last versions. When I created a new uninitialized repository some weeks ago, it was possible to add a Deploy Key via the Settings menu.

I cannot tell if the bug is reproducible on try.gitea.io because it times out when I try to register there.

Gitea Version

1.21.11

Can you reproduce the bug on the Gitea demo site?

How are you running Gitea?

I am using the official Docker image gitea/gitea:1 with automatic updates via watchtower.

The commandline is

# docker run -d --restart=always --name gitea -p 22:22 -p 3000:3000 -v /srv/gitea/data:/data gitea/itea:1

I think this change is by design. The logic is if there is no branches, so we don't need UI to do that. From my current situation, maybe protected branches/tags are necessary before there is any code.

I understand your argument regarding Branches and Tags. But Deploy Keys should be still configurable even to an empty (uninitialized) repository. To create an uninitialized reposory in Gitea, enter an SSH key and then push an existing repository over SSH is a perfectly valid workflow.
