Manage settings

## Synopsis

```text
Manage gt's settings.

Preferences live in config.yml and instance settings in hosts.yml, in the configuration
directory ($GITEA_CLI_CONFIG_DIR, or gitea-cli under the XDG config directory); gt config path prints
both files. Environment variables that override settings are listed in gt help environment.

Preferences: default_host, git_protocol, editor, prompt (enabled or disabled), pager,
browser (never disables opening), color, hyperlinks and markdown (auto or raw), remote,
http_timeout and aliases (see gt alias).
Instance settings (--host <url>): user, ssh_host, insecure, git_protocol, oauth_client_id,
headers, client_cert and client_key.
Account settings (--host <url> --user <name>): ssh_key, ssh_agent,
ssh_certificate_principal, ssh_key_fingerprint.
```
