Log out of an account

## Synopsis

```text
Log out of an account: gt forgets the account and deletes its stored credential. Git's
other credential helpers are asked to forget what they stored for the account on the
instance, such as a copy of its token that a keychain kept after a push.
```

```

$ gt auth logout
