Flag	Environment	Meaning
`--url`	`GITEA_URL`	Gitea base URL
`--token-file`	`GITEA_TOKEN_FILE`	File containing API token
—	`GITEA_TOKEN`	API token fallback when no token file is configured
`--project`	`GITEA_PROJECT`	Exact native project name
`--project-id`	`GITEA_PROJECT_ID`	Native project ID instead of name
positional `OWNER`	`GITEA_OWNER`	Repository owner
positional `REPO`	`GITEA_REPO`	Repository name

Native mode requires an enabled repository Projects unit, project read/write repository permission, and a token with read:issue/write:issue scope. Issue creation/editing follows Gitea issue permissions; deletion requires repository admin permission in this fork. Token values are sent only through Gitea's Authorization header and are never printed. Token-file input takes precedence over environment variables. Remote URLs must use HTTPS; plain HTTP is accepted only for loopback development.

Keys

Arrow keys or h/j/k/l: focus column/card
H/L: move focused card left/right
r: refresh project columns and issues
?: toggle help
q: quit

Native mode reads /projects, project columns, and each column's issues. Moves use the issue's global API id and destination column id; optional sorting is supported by the server API. Project names are exact, case-sensitive matches; use --project-id when duplicate names exist. Empty native boards render normally. n creates an issue assigned to the selected project, e edits the focused issue title/body, and d deletes it after confirmation. In the editor, Enter switches from title to body, Tab switches fields, Ctrl-S saves, and Esc cancels. Closed projects, archived repositories, disabled Projects units, unassigned issues, and cross-repository IDs are rejected by the server.
