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.

Clone a repository locally
## Synopsis
```text
Clone a repository with the configured Git protocol and gt's credentials. Git flags can
follow --. A fork's parent is added as the "upstream" remote, and gt commands in the clone then
target the parent. A pull mirror's source is added as the "source" remote; gt commands keep
targeting the mirror.
```
```
gt repo clone <repository> [<directory>] [-- <gitflags>...] [flags]
```
## Examples
```
# Clone a repository into ./project
$ gt repo clone alice/project
# Clone into another directory with the last commit only
$ gt repo clone alice/project src --depth 1
# Pass flags to git clone
$ gt repo clone alice/project -- --branch develop --recurse-submodules
```
## Options
```
-d, --depth int Number of commits to fetch (0: full history)
-h, --help help for clone
--no-upstream Do not add a remote for the parent of a fork or the source of a mirror
-u, --upstream-remote-name string Remote name for the parent of a fork (default "upstream")
```
## Options inherited from parent commands
```
--cwd directory Working directory for repository discovery
--debug Log the method, URL, status, and duration of each HTTP request to stderr
--host URL Gitea instance URL, including any base path
--interactive Allow prompts with machine output
-q, --jq expression Filter JSON output using a jq expression; implies --json
--json fields[="*"] Output JSON with the specified comma-separated fields, or all fields
--no-input Disable prompts and implicit editor/browser interactions
--remote remote Git remote used for repository discovery
-R, --repo OWNER/REPO Select a repository as OWNER/REPO or URL
--sudo user Perform API requests as this user (requires an administrator account)
--user name Account name on the selected instance
-y, --yes Accept confirmations without prompting
```
