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 or update a secret
## Synopsis
```text
Create or update a secret.
The value comes from --body, --body-file or standard input when it is not a terminal (one
trailing line break is removed), or else from a prompt. --env-file sets every NAME=value of a
dotenv file instead.
Setting an existing secret without --description clears its description.
```
```
gt secret set [<name>] [flags]
```
## Examples
```
# paste the value of a repository secret at a prompt
$ gt secret set DEPLOY_TOKEN
# set an organization secret from standard input
$ echo -n "$TOKEN" | gt secret set NPM_TOKEN --org acme
# set the secrets of a dotenv file
$ gt secret set --env-file .env
```
