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.

gt auth token

Print the access token of an account

Synopsis

Print the access token that gt uses for the active account, or for --user, so that
scripts can call the API themselves. The GITEA_TOKEN of the instance takes precedence, as
it does for other commands, and an expiring OAuth token is refreshed first. Accounts that
sign requests with an SSH key have no token.
gt auth token [flags]

Examples

$ gt auth token
$ curl -H "Authorization: token $(gt auth token)" https://gitea.com/api/v1/user
$ gt auth token --host gitea.com --user alice

Options

  -h, --help   help for token
