ive never seen gcli segfault, and fairy is using gcli for 95% of her 
communication with forgejo
IIRC iam using a random checkout of gcli trunk from april, simply installed all 
"Optional dependencies" that
had packages in ubuntu and build it. Maybe i had to install one thing that 
wasnt available in ubuntu dont
remember

I suggest you get a backtrace and report this to the gcli developers
it seems it is actively developed

I agree 100% that it should be documented

I dont think threats and force would bring anyone to document it
What works is if people understand the importance, and care about the project
The other way that works, is if someone is payed to do it.

quick question, is there anyone who doesnt understand the importance of
documenting how to "contribute in a way that works" ? (not just webapp but also 
CLI)

I think if you just wrote (and pushed, ideally after review) documentation, 
that would work
better.
You can submit a request to get the time spend on this reimbursed by SPI
If noone else is willing to write this documentation and noone disagreed
here that this documentation is important, then it seems to be in the
interrest of everyone to pay for this

thx
