Hi Christian,

Thanks for working on the documentation!

I can answer some of your questions, but not all of them.  What I usually do:

Get a personal access token "somesecret" from the salsa web interface.  Then:

 $ touch ~/.salsa-token
 $ chmod og-r ~/.salsa-token
 $ echo somesecret > ~/.salsa-token
 $ SALSA_TOKEN=`cat ~/.salsa-token`

For some actions, the salsa(1) tool (and/or gitlab on salsa.d.o) seems to need
such a token.  An SSH key is not always enough.

HTH, Bye,

Joost
