Hi Nicolas,

This is fine and your preferences are understandable. Everyone has
their tools of choice.

That said, I did try Forgejo on a local instance today without
JavaScript and it was not a usable experience for a contributor.
I could do some limited functions but not raise a PR, for example.
Besides this issue, the experience was pleasant and fast.

Suppose there is an option with simple, reasonably, documented APIs
that can be used to bridge the gaps for our CLI-first developers.
Would you be open to experimenting?
Or as an output from this thread, can we declare what CLI-based user
workflows are needed
for folks to keep their velocity and start there? I imagine a creative
a solution can be found.

Forgejo seems to have this: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/api-usage/
I know from past experience managing a GitLab instance, it has APIs too.
