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.

Create a repository
## Synopsis
```text
Create a repository for your account, or for an organization as ORG/NAME or with --org.
--auto-init adds a first commit with a README, .gitignore and license; --template copies another
repository. --source adds the new repository as a remote of a local Git repository, and --push
pushes its current branch there.
```
