The tea command for gitea (used by forgejo) has a flag for login.  With gitea
you can have multiple accounts logged in.  When you try to run a command such
as `repo create` it will prompt you which login to use, but I learned that you
can bake it in to all of them with `--login <login-name>`

``` bash
❯ tea repo create --name deleteme --description 'for example'
┃ NOTE: no gitea login detected, whether falling back to login 'git.waylonwalker.com'?
```
