Freestyle projects not available?

[ijpatricio]

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to run Woodpecker locally, but before going al in on a repo, I was expecting to tinker a little on itwith a "freestyle project" - like in Jenkins

Isn't this possible to try??

To try it out the best would be to create an empty repo in your forge test some woodpecker configs.

You could also use the woodpecker cli exec command to even skip installing a server and agent for the beginning.

I'll check the cli, thanks!

I was trying to keep it lean as possible. Not having to configure a source provider is optimal.
I'd prefer, when/if needed, to generate an deploy key and add that to the repo.
It seems hard to accomplish, since the login is based on a OAuth app.

Sure, for testing this might seem to be a burden. Woodpecker depending on a forge offering oauth is kind of a key design decision. Luckily there are several widely used forges being supported.
