The UI could be slightly different, but it's indeed on the setting page.

Issues aren't documentation, this should stay open.

@wxiaoguang I cannot as I am unfamiliar with the feature in question, because it is undocumented and I am unfamiliar with gitea's internals.

From my side, I don't see anything unclear for it. This feature just exists, and it is in the top-level menu on the setting page. Just like "Branches", "Tags", there is no document either, there is no document for "change avatar" or "change email" either.

I agree that document could be written for everything, but I also agree if a feature is clear, then it can be used by intuition without document.

If you think "deploy key" needs a document, please help to elaborate about how to write a better document for it, since the project is open source and crowd-contributed, I will be happy to review.
