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.

<!-- Generated by update_cli_docs.sh from the gitea/cli sources, do not edit. -->
Sync a branch with its remote or its fork's parent
## Synopsis
```text
Fast-forward a local branch (default: the repository's default branch) to the same branch on
the repository's Git remote, without switching branches. Diverged branches are left unchanged.
Given a repository without a Git remote here, sync updates it on the server instead: a fork
fast-forwards to its parent, and a pull mirror fetches its source. Gitea updates a mirror as a
whole and in the background, so --branch is refused for a mirror, and the JSON result names
only the source, as remote.
```
```
gt repo sync [<repository>] [flags]
```
## Examples
```
# Fast-forward the default branch from the repository's remote
$ gt repo sync
# Fast-forward another branch
$ gt repo sync --branch release/1.0
# Update a fork on the server from its parent
$ gt repo sync bob/project
```
## Options
```
-b, --branch string Branch to sync (default: the repository's default branch)
-h, --help help for sync
```
