docs(releaser): fix repo URLs and add repository link

All git.k3nny.fr/releaser links were missing the /k3nny/ namespace.
Fixed in docs/hugo.toml (geekdocRepo + geekdocEditPath), installation,
ci-integration, and changelog pages. Also added repo link to the docs
home page and README.

GitLab CI

The simplest setup uses the reusable job template shipped alongside releaser:

# .gitlab-ci.yml
include:
  - project: releaser/releaser
    file: .releaser.gitlab-ci.yml

release:
  extends: .releaser
  variables:
    GITLAB_TOKEN: $RELEASE_TOKEN   # project/group variable with api + write_repository scope

Or write it inline:

release:
  stage: release
  image: registry.example.com/releaser:latest
  rules:
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH =~ /^release\/.+$/
  variables:
    GITLAB_TOKEN: $RELEASE_TOKEN
  script:
    - releaser
  artifacts:
    reports:
      dotenv: release.env          # exposes NEXT_VERSION to downstream jobs

Consuming `NEXT_VERSION` downstream

The release.env dotenv artifact exports NEXT_VERSION=<tag> automatically. Downstream jobs can use it:

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  needs:
    - job: release
      artifacts: true
  script:
    - echo "Deploying version $NEXT_VERSION"

Disable the dotenv artifact (e.g. for local runs):

releaser --release-env-file ""

Write it to a custom path:

releaser --release-env-file deploy/version.env

GitHub Actions / Gitea Actions

name: release
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - 'release/**'

jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0          # full history needed for tag discovery

      - name: Run releaser
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        run: |
          curl -sSL https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/releaser/releases/latest/download/releaser-linux-amd64 \
            -o /usr/local/bin/releaser
          chmod +x /usr/local/bin/releaser
          releaser

{{< hint warning >}} fetch-depth: 0 is required. A shallow clone (--depth 1) hides the previous tag, causing releaser to treat every commit as the first release. {{< /hint >}}

Detached HEAD

In CI environments where git checkout leaves the repository in detached HEAD state, pass the branch name explicitly:

script:
  - releaser --branch "$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH"

SSH push

When pushing over SSH (git@host:... or ssh://... remotes), releaser attempts go-git SSH agent auth automatically — no extra configuration needed as long as the CI runner has an SSH agent socket available.

For HTTPS remotes without a token, releaser delegates to the system git binary so credential helpers and netrc work as expected.
