How to Sync gogs repositories automatically

Question

I have a gogs repository which is loaded from local directory (I will clone git repo to that local repository periodically). In repository settings there is an option called "Sync now" to sync the repository. How to invoke this Sync now option via a jenkins job. Is there any api for Syncing the repository. Thanks in advance.

I think Gogs provides an API for syncing. If you do have the personal access token from your Gogs account, you can trigger the repo sync.

curl -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
"http://YOUR_GOGS_URL/api/v1/repos/OWNER/REPO_NAME/sync"

Replace YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN with the token you generated, 'YOUR_GOGS_URL with the URL of your Gogs instance, OWNER with the owner of the repository, and REPO_NAME with the name of the repository.

Now all you have to do is schedule a Jenkins job to run in time intervals which will sync on regular basis.
