 # Using HSRename with Gear Lever
 
-[Gear Lever](https://github.com/mijorus/gearlever) can manage and update the HSRename AppImage. Because releases are hosted on **Gitea** (not GitHub), use one of the options below.
+[Gear Lever](https://github.com/mijorus/gearlever) 4.x can update HSRename from Gitea releases. Gitea uses the same API as **Forgejo**, which Gear Lever supports directly.
 
-## Option 1: Custom update URL (recommended to try first)
+## Important: use Forgejo, not Default
 
-Gitea uses the same release path style as GitHub:  
-`/owner/repo/releases/download/{tag}/{filename}`
+In the HSRename details screen:
 
-1. Open **Gear Lever** and add the HSRename AppImage (drag & drop or **Add**).
-2. Select the HSRename entry and open **Update** / **Custom update URL** (or the equivalent in your Gear Lever version).
-3. Try this URL pattern (with a wildcard for the tag):
-   ```
-   https://git.hisora.dev/Dawnsorrow/HS-Rename/releases/download/*/HSRename.AppImage
-   ```
-4. If Gear Lever accepts it (e.g. field turns green or validates), it may use the Gitea releases page to resolve the latest tag and offer updates when you push new releases.
-5. Use **Check for updates** / **List updates** to see if it detects new versions.
+- **Source** must be **Forgejo** (not `Default`).
+- The **Website** field is only metadata. It does **not** check for updates.
+- Do **not** paste the release download URL into Website.
 
-If your Gear Lever only supports GitHub-style URLs and rejects this, use Option 2.
+## Configure updates (Gear Lever 4+)
 
-## Option 2: Static URL (manual update link)
+1. Open **Gear Lever** → select **HSRename**.
+2. Set **Source** to **Forgejo**.
+3. Fill in:
 
-If the wildcard URL does not work:
+   | Field | Value |
+   |-------|--------|
+   | **Repo URL** | `https://git.hisora.dev/Dawnsorrow/HS-Rename` |
+   | **Release file name** | `HSRename.AppImage` |
+   | **Allow pre-releases** | Off (unless you want draft releases) |
 
-1. In Gear Lever, add HSRename and set **Update** to **Static URL**.
-2. Paste the **direct download URL** of the current release, for example:
-   - **v1.0.3:**  
-     `https://git.hisora.dev/Dawnsorrow/HS-Rename/releases/download/v1.0.3/HSRename.AppImage`
-3. When a new version is released (e.g. v1.0.4), open the [releases page](https://git.hisora.dev/Dawnsorrow/HS-Rename/releases), open the new release, right‑click **HSRename.AppImage** → **Copy link address**, then in Gear Lever set the Static URL to that new link and run **Update**.
+4. Save, then use **Check for updates** / **List updates**.
 
-So: Gear Lever will only “see” updates if you change the Static URL to the new release’s download link when you want to update.
+If the fields validate (no error), Gear Lever queries:
 
-## Option 3: CLI (if you use Gear Lever from the terminal)
+`https://git.hisora.dev/api/v1/repos/Dawnsorrow/HS-Rename/releases/latest`
 
-After adding the AppImage in Gear Lever, you can set the update URL from the command line:
+and compares the release asset size with your local AppImage.
 
-```bash
-# Set custom update URL (try the wildcard pattern)
-gearlever --set-update-url /path/to/HSRename.AppImage "https://git.hisora.dev/Dawnsorrow/HS-Rename/releases/download/*/HSRename.AppImage"
+## Direct download URL pattern
 
-# Check for updates
-gearlever --list-updates
-
-# Apply update
-gearlever --update /path/to/HSRename.AppImage
-```
-
-Replace `/path/to/HSRename.AppImage` with the actual path where Gear Lever stores the AppImage.
-
-## Release download URL pattern
-
-For any release tag `vX.Y.Z`, the direct download URL is:
+For release tag `vX.Y.Z`:
 
 ```
 https://git.hisora.dev/Dawnsorrow/HS-Rename/releases/download/vX.Y.Z/HSRename.AppImage
 ```
 
-So when we push a new release (e.g. v1.0.4), that new tag’s URL is what Gear Lever needs (either via the wildcard in Option 1 or by pasting the new URL in Option 2).
+Latest release today:
+
+```
+https://git.hisora.dev/Dawnsorrow/HS-Rename/releases/download/v1.0.3/HSRename.AppImage
+```
+
+## Fallback: Static URL
+
+If Forgejo does not work in your Gear Lever build, set **Source** to **Static URL** and paste the **exact** URL of the newest release (update this manually each release):
+
+```
+https://git.hisora.dev/Dawnsorrow/HS-Rename/releases/download/v1.0.3/HSRename.AppImage
+```
+
+## CLI (if `gearlever` is installed)
+
+Gear Lever 4 may use different CLI options than older docs. Prefer the GUI Forgejo fields above. If your install still supports `--set-update-url`, the old wildcard pattern is **not** reliable for self-hosted Gitea; use Forgejo instead.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Likely cause |
+|---------|----------------|
+| No update offered | Source is still **Default**, or local file is already the latest release (same size as `releases/latest`). |
+| URL looks truncated in Website | Website is cosmetic only; configure **Forgejo** fields instead. |
+| Update never finds newer builds | Wrong repo URL, wrong filename, or release has no `HSRename.AppImage` asset attached. |
