-## Uploading to PyPI
+## Uploading to Forgejo PyPI
 
-### Prerequisites
+This project uses **Forgejo PyPI** for package distribution, not the public PyPI. Forgejo is a self-hosted Git service with integrated package registry support.
 
-1. Create PyPI account at https://pypi.org/
-2. Create PyPI token: https://pypi.org/manage/account/tokens/
-3. Configure credentials
+### Setup Forgejo PyPI
 
-### Using twine
+#### Step 1: Create .pypirc Configuration
+
+Copy the example configuration:
 
 ```bash
-# Install twine
-pip install twine
-
-# Upload to PyPI (after building)
-twine upload dist/*
-
-# Or to TestPyPI for testing first
-twine upload -r testpypi dist/*
+cp .pypirc.example .pypirc
 ```
 
-### Authentication
-
-**Option 1: Using .pypirc file**
-
-Create `~/.pypirc`:
+Edit `.pypirc` with your Forgejo details:
 
 ```ini
 [distutils]
 index-servers =
-    pypi
-    testpypi
+    forgejo
 
-[pypi]
-repository = https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
+[forgejo]
+repository = https://your-forgejo-instance.com/api/packages/YOUR_USERNAME/pypi
 username = __token__
-password = pypi_your_token_here
-
-[testpypi]
-repository = https://test.pypi.org/legacy/
-username = __token__
-password = pypi_your_test_token_here
+password = YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
 ```
 
-**Option 2: Interactive prompt**
+#### Step 2: Generate Forgejo Personal Access Token
 
-twine will prompt for username and password when uploading.
+1. Visit your Forgejo instance: `https://your-forgejo-instance.com`
+2. Go to: **User Settings** → **Applications**
+3. Click **Create New Token**
+4. Name it: `PyPI Upload`
+5. Grant scope: **write:packages**
+6. Copy the generated token
+7. Paste into `.pypirc` as `password`
 
-### Upload to Test PyPI First
+#### Step 3: Secure .pypirc
 
-Before uploading to production, test with TestPyPI:
+**IMPORTANT:** Add `.pypirc` to `.gitignore` to prevent committing credentials!
 
 ```bash
-twine upload -r testpypi dist/*
+echo ".pypirc" >> .gitignore
+git add .gitignore
+git commit -m "chore: add .pypirc to gitignore"
 ```
 
-Then test installation:
+### Uploading to Forgejo PyPI
+
+**Requirement:** twine must be installed (see Prerequisites section above)
+
+#### Option 1: Using PowerShell Script (Windows - Recommended)
+
+```powershell
+# Activate virtual environment first
+.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+
+# Upload existing wheel
+.\upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.ps1
+
+# Rebuild and upload
+.\upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.ps1 -Build
+
+# Show help
+.\upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.ps1 -Help
+```
+
+#### Option 2: Using Batch Script (Windows)
+
+```batch
+upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.bat
+
+REM Rebuild and upload
+upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.bat --build
+```
+
+#### Option 3: Using Shell Script (Unix/Linux)
 
 ```bash
-pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ elytra-pim-client==0.1.0
+# Make script executable (first time only)
+chmod +x upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.sh
+
+# Upload existing wheel
+./upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.sh
+
+# Rebuild and upload
+./upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.sh --build
+
+# Show help
+./upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.sh --help
 ```
 
+#### Option 4: Using twine Directly
+
+```bash
+# Activate virtual environment
+.venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows
+source .venv/bin/activate  # macOS/Linux
+
+# Upload wheel to Forgejo (twine is already in requirements.txt)
+twine upload -r forgejo dist/*.whl
+```
+
+### What the Upload Scripts Do
+
+1. **Load credentials** - Reads .pypirc configuration
+2. **Setup environment** - Copies .pypirc to user home directory temporarily
+3. **Activate venv** - Sets up Python virtual environment
+4. **Build wheel** - Builds wheel if not present (or with --build flag)
+5. **Upload** - Uploads wheel to Forgejo PyPI repository using twine
+6. **Cleanup** - Removes temporary credentials from home directory
+7. **Deactivate** - Deactivates virtual environment
+
+### Accessing Your Package
+
+After upload, your package is available in the Forgejo PyPI repository:
+
+```bash
+# Install from Forgejo PyPI
+pip install --index-url https://your-forgejo-instance.com/api/packages/YOUR_USERNAME/pypi/simple/ elytra-pim-client
+
+# Or add to requirements.txt
+-i https://your-forgejo-instance.com/api/packages/YOUR_USERNAME/pypi/simple/
+elytra-pim-client
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting Upload Issues
+
+#### "Upload failed" Error
+
+**Check:** Verify .pypirc configuration
+```ini
+[forgejo]
+repository = https://correct-url.com/api/packages/USERNAME/pypi
+username = __token__
+password = VALID_TOKEN
+```
+
+**Verify:** Token has correct permissions
+- Token must have `write:packages` scope
+- Visit: `https://your-forgejo-instance.com/user/settings/applications`
+
+**Network:** Ensure Forgejo instance is reachable
+```bash
+curl https://your-forgejo-instance.com/api/v1/user
+```
+
+#### ".pypirc not found" Error
+
+Create it from template:
+```bash
+cp .pypirc.example .pypirc
+# Then edit with your credentials
+```
+
+#### "twine: command not found" Error
+
+**Solution:** twine is included in `requirements.txt` as a development dependency. Install all dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### Example Workflow
+
+```bash
+# 1. Setup Forgejo PyPI (first time only)
+cp .pypirc.example .pypirc
+# Edit .pypirc with your Forgejo repository URL and credentials
+echo ".pypirc" >> .gitignore
+git add .gitignore
+git commit -m "chore: add .pypirc to gitignore"
+
+# 2. Make code changes
+git commit -am "feat: add new feature"
+
+# 3. Update version in pyproject.toml
+# version = "0.2.0"
+
+# 4. Build and upload to Forgejo PyPI
+.\upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.ps1  # PowerShell
+# or
+./upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.sh   # Bash/Shell
+# or
+./upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.bat  # Batch
+
+# 5. Tag and push release
+git tag v0.2.0
+git push origin v0.2.0
+```
+
+## Uploading to Public PyPI (Future)
+
+To upload to public PyPI instead of Forgejo:
+
+1. Install twine: `pip install twine`
+2. Create account at https://pypi.org/
+3. Generate token at https://pypi.org/manage/account/tokens/
+4. Create `.pypirc`:
+   ```ini
+   [distutils]
+   index-servers =
+       pypi
+
+   [pypi]
+   repository = https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
+   username = __token__
+   password = pypi_your_token_here
+   ```
+5. Upload: `twine upload -r pypi dist/*.whl`
+

 ## Best Practices
 
-1. **Always test before releasing**
+1. **Setup Forgejo PyPI (first time only)**
    ```bash
-   twine upload -r testpypi dist/*
-   pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ elytra-pim-client==0.1.0
+   cp .pypirc.example .pypirc
+   # Edit .pypirc with your Forgejo credentials
+   echo ".pypirc" >> .gitignore
    ```
 
-2. **Increment version for each release**
+2. **Complete release workflow**
+   ```bash
+   # Update version in pyproject.toml
+   # version = "0.2.0"
+
+   # Build and upload
+   .\upload_wheel_to_forgejo_pypi.ps1
+
+   # Tag and push
+   git tag v0.2.0
+   git push origin v0.2.0
+   ```
+
+3. **Increment version for each release**
    - Patch: Bug fixes (0.1.1)
    - Minor: New features (0.2.0)
    - Major: Breaking changes (1.0.0)
 
-3. **Clean before rebuilding**
+4. **Clean before rebuilding**
    ```bash
    python build_wheel.py  # Automatically cleans
    # Or manually
    rm -rf dist/ build/ *.egg-info/
    ```
 
-4. **Keep dependencies minimal**
+5. **Keep dependencies minimal**
    - Only required packages in `dependencies`
    - Development tools in `[project.optional-dependencies]`
 
-5. **Document changes**
-   - Update CHANGELOG.md (if present)
-   - Update version in pyproject.toml
-   - Create git tag for release
+6. **Use .pypirc template**
+   - Never commit `.pypirc` with real credentials
+   - Always keep `.pypirc` in `.gitignore`
+   - Share `.pypirc.example` with template values
+
+7. **Secure credential handling**
+   - Use Forgejo personal access tokens with limited scope
+   - Rotate tokens regularly
+   - Never share tokens or .pypirc files
