naudachu 62027db76c docs: separate the API-only flags from the ones needing a checkout
Two flags in the reference said one thing and did another.

`-o` was listed as a global output-format flag and the Tips section
recommended `-o json` without qualification. On `tea api` it is a file
name: `-o json` writes the body to a file called json and leaves stdout
empty, so the next parse fails with a JSONDecodeError that looks like a
server refusal. Scoped to entity commands, and api's meaning named in
all three places that mention it.

`--repo owner/repo` was documented as a general substitute for standing
in a checkout. For `pulls create`, `pulls checkout` and `pulls clean` it
is not: the slug is rejected with 'local repository required', advice
that reads like the flag was missing. Verified from outside any repo —
those three refuse a slug and accept a path, while pulls list,
milestones, releases and times take the slug from anywhere. All three
working forms are written down, including the git-worktree one (point
--repo at the main checkout) and the api fallback.

Closes #35
Closes #28

tea CLI — HELPERS

See ./index.md for global options and common flags shared by all commands.

tea open, o

Open the current repository/context in a web browser.

tea notifications (aliases: notification, n)

Defaults to the current repo; --mine/-m aggregates across all your repos. Fields: id,status,updated,index,type,state,title,repository. Filters: --types/-t {issue|pull|repository|commit}, --states/-s {pinned|unread|read} (default: unread,pinned).

  • ls, list
  • read, r [all | <id>]
  • unread, u [all | <id>]
  • pin, p [all | <id>]
  • unpin [all | <id>]

tea clone, C <repo-slug> [target-dir]

Clone without requiring a local git install. Accepts slug forms: gitea/tea, tea, gitea.com/gitea/tea, git@gitea.com:gitea/tea, https://gitea.com/gitea/tea, ssh://gitea.com:22/gitea/tea. A host in the slug overrides --login. Options: --depth/-d, --login/-l.

tea api <endpoint>

Authenticated HTTP request to the Gitea API. Endpoints are auto-prefixed with /api/v1/ unless they start with /api/ or http(s)://. Placeholders {owner} and {repo} are filled from the repo context.

  • --method/-X {GET|POST|PUT|PATCH|DELETE} (default GET; switches to POST automatically when a body is provided)
  • --field/-f key=value — string field on body (repeatable).
  • --Field/-F key=value — typed field (numbers, booleans, null, JSON arrays/objects); @file or @- (stdin); "null" forces literal string.
  • --data/-d — raw JSON body (@file / @-). Incompatible with -f/-F.
  • --header/-H key:value (repeatable)
  • --include/-i — write status + response headers to stderr.
  • --output/-o <file> — write response body to file (- = stdout). Not the entity commands' format flag: -o json here creates a file named json and prints nothing. The body is already JSON.
  • Quote the endpoint if it contains ? or & to prevent shell expansion.
