Hi & thanks for forgejo-cli, probably exactly what I needed 2 years ago
but ended up writing a humungous shell script using jq to handle issues.

However, looking at the README, the wiki and probing the source dir
I haven't managed to find any simple intro on how to use it and all it does,
not even how to tell it what repository to work against (presumably
as an https:// or git:// string)... or does it work against the origin of the
local git repository that you're in? Who knows. Mystery.

My objective was to be able to download the issues, work on them off line
and update the main set when online again but I haven't been able
to discover whether fj does this or not, and if so, whether it faces
the problem of forgejo issues not being under git so with two interleaved
fetch-pushes, one might overwrite the other's changes.
Does it handle this in any way?

If I'm being blind or just haven't spotted the obvious fj.1 or wiki page,
maybe its location could be mentioned in the README.
