bircni 55c3a392a1 feat: generate the gt command reference from gitea/cli
update_cli_docs.sh runs gt's own generator and lays the pages out for the
site: one directory per command group, front matter, titles, sidebar
order, fenced help text and rewritten links. --released succeeds while no
series is documented. A weekly workflow proposes updates like the runner's.

gt label import

Create labels from a file

Synopsis

Create the labels of a label file, one per line: "#color name", optionally followed by
" ;description" and then by the flags in one last field: " ;exclusive", " ;archived" or
" ;exclusive,archived". The description can be left out before the flags, as in
"#7057ff priority/high ;exclusive". gt label export writes this format, and Gitea's label
templates use it. Blank lines and lines starting with "# " or "##" are comments; any other
line must be a valid label. Existing labels are refused unless --force updates them.
gt label import <file> [flags]

Examples

$ gt label import labels.txt
$ gt label export --repo alice/old | gt label import - --repo alice/new
