When using fj with a self-hosted Forgejo instance accessed via an SSH alias (e.g., git@forgejo-localhost:user/repo), the CLI extracts the hostname from the remote URL and constructs the API endpoint as https://forgejo-localhost:443. This breaks for local-only setups where:
~/.ssh/configCurrent workaround: Users must pass -H http://localhost:3000 on every fj command.
Proposed solutions:
Read client_ids config for protocol/port hints — Add optional api_protocol and api_port fields to ~/.config/forgejo-cli/client_ids
Respect environment variables — Add support for FORGEJO_API_PROTOCOL and FORGEJO_API_PORT env vars
Auto-detect from SSH config — Parse ~/.ssh/config to detect when hostname is an SSH alias and read actual HostName/port for API URL construction

When using fj with a self-hosted Forgejo instance accessed via an SSH alias (e.g., git@forgejo-localhost:user/repo), the CLI extracts the hostname from the remote URL and constructs the API endpoint as https://forgejo-localhost:443. This breaks for local-only setups where: 1. The web UI runs on HTTP port 3000 (not 443) 2. No TLS termination is configured on the web port 3. SSH is routed through a custom port (e.g., 2222) via ~/.ssh/config **Current workaround:** Users must pass -H http://localhost:3000 on every fj command. **Proposed solutions:** 1. **Read client_ids config for protocol/port hints** — Add optional api_protocol and api_port fields to ~/.config/forgejo-cli/client_ids 2. **Respect environment variables** — Add support for FORGEJO_API_PROTOCOL and FORGEJO_API_PORT env vars 3. **Auto-detect from SSH config** — Parse ~/.ssh/config to detect when hostname is an SSH alias and read actual HostName/port for API URL construction Related: Codeberg #4171
