+# Issue Management
+- Use Gitea REST API to close issues when fixing them:
+  ```bash
+  curl -X PATCH https://gitea.rowanbrook.net/api/v1/repos/jakob/rusty-petroleum/issues/{issue_number} \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
+    -d '{"state": "closed"}'
+  ```
+- Or suggest closing issues on Gitea web UI when automatic closing via API is not configured
