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.

4 Authenticate gt and git with Gitea

gt auth

Authenticate gt and git with Gitea

Synopsis

Authenticate gt and git with Gitea.

gt keeps the accounts of each instance in hosts.yml and their tokens in the system
keyring, or in a private file when you choose so. One account per instance is active;
--user or GITEA_CLI_USER selects another for a single command. GITEA_TOKEN, together with
GITEA_CLI_HOST or GITEA_INSTANCE_URL, replaces the stored credentials of its instance for the
active account too; it must belong to the account that --user or GITEA_CLI_USER names. See
gt help environment for how commands select the instance.
