CLI for codeberg/forgejo? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for a forgejo cli (something similar to gh for github or glab for gitlab - neither of which I've ever used).

I found one named forgejo-cli and another named fgj but, from a quick look at the source, both seem to save my API key in a plaintext file, which... I just find unacceptable (and, frankly, quite dumb).

Do you know of any others?

Plenty of tools are using the system keychain. There are good libraries that provide a generic interface to gnome-keyring or kwallet depending on what is running. When I was working with Node I used the keytar library for that purpose.

Edit: Oh, apparently there is a standard DBus API for keyrings. So you can use libsecret to interact with whatever keyring.
