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.

Environment variables and global flags
## Synopsis
```text
Global flags work with every command, before or after the command name:
--cwd directory Working directory for repository discovery
--debug Log the method, URL, status, and duration of each HTTP request to stderr
--host URL Gitea instance URL, including any base path
--interactive Allow prompts with machine output
-q, --jq expression Filter JSON output using a jq expression; implies --json
--json fields Output JSON with the specified comma-separated fields, or all fields
--no-input Disable prompts and implicit editor/browser interactions
--remote remote Git remote used for repository discovery
-R, --repo OWNER/REPO Select a repository as OWNER/REPO or URL
--sudo user Perform API requests as this user (requires an administrator account)
--user name Account name on the selected instance
-y, --yes Accept confirmations without prompting
gt selects the repository from --repo, GITEA_CLI_REPO, git config gt.repository (gt repo
set-default) or a Git remote (--remote, else the base remote pr checkout recorded, the
current branch's remote, upstream or origin, skipping remotes on instances without an
account, or not on --host or the GITEA_TOKEN instance). Like gh, a clone with upstream
and origin targets upstream: a branch tracking origin does not select the fork,
and the instance from the repository URL, --host, GITEA_CLI_HOST or GITEA_INSTANCE_URL,
default_host, the only configured instance, or, among several, the instance of the clone's
repository.
Environment variables:
GITEA_CLI_CONFIG_DIR configuration directory; gt config path prints the files
GITEA_CLI_HOST, GITEA_INSTANCE_URL instance URL, overriding default_host
GITEA_TOKEN access token for that instance instead of stored credentials
GITEA_INSTANCE_INSECURE with GITEA_TOKEN, skip TLS verification when true
GITEA_INSTANCE_SSH_HOST with GITEA_TOKEN, SSH host that identifies the instance's remotes
GITEA_CLI_USER account on the selected instance, like --user
GITEA_CLI_REPO repository as OWNER/REPO or URL, like --repo
GITEA_CLI_EDITOR editor, overriding config.yml
GITEA_CLI_PAGER pager, overriding config.yml
GITEA_CLI_COLOR color preference: auto, always or never
GITEA_CLI_HTTP_TIMEOUT longest wait for an answer, overriding config.yml
NO_COLOR disables automatic color when set, even with CLICOLOR_FORCE
CLICOLOR_FORCE unless empty or 0, colors stderr, even when redirected, and
a terminal stdout despite CLICOLOR=0 or TERM=dumb
CLICOLOR disables automatic color on a terminal when 0
VISUAL, EDITOR, PAGER, BROWSER editor (VISUAL first), pager and browser when config.yml sets none
TERM dumb asks each prompt as a line of text, for screen readers,
and turns off automatic color
Piped or redirected stdout is data: the color settings never color it. Only a
command's own --color always does, such as gt pr diff --color always.
Preferences in config.yml are described in gt config --help.
