Add documentation for Harbor CLI configuration and encryption management

---

Purpose

This PR introduces comprehensive documentation for two critical aspects of Harbor CLI:

1. Configuration management hierarchy and credential handling
2. Encryption mechanisms and environment-specific security recommendations

---

Changes

Configuration Management Documentation

• Added detailed explanation of configuration hierarchy (--config flag > env var > XDG paths)
• Documented multi-credential management workflow with practical examples
• Clarified data storage paths and precedence rules
• Included scenario-based usage patterns (temporary overrides, environment persistence, reset)

Encryption Management Documentation

• Added overview of AES-GCM encryption implementation
• Documented three-tier keyring backend system:
  • Environment-based keys
  • System keyring integration
  • File-based fallback
• Provided environment-specific guidance with Kubernetes/Docker examples
• Highlighted security recommendations for different deployment scenarios

---

Notes

• Continues work started in Althaf66's original commits (cherry-picked: ca2b51b, e72dc80, 862144c), also see Harbor-CLI Documentation #580
• Complements existing CLI reference docs with conceptual explanations
• Follows XDG Base Directory Specification conventions
• Maintains consistency with Harbor's security best practices

Thanks for the contribution

I have suggested some changes

[qcserestipy]

@bupd, I have incorporated all of your changes and moved the encryption and config docs to the harbor-cli repo in this PR. Since the cli-docs.sh tracks the latest release now the encryption and config docs would be only seen here in case there is a new release. Does this PR have to wait until there is a new harbor-cli release then?

1. It looks a bit like the title in the menu and not an entry in the menu.
   • Maybe placing the entry at the bottom will help to visually separate
   • The menue entry is called "Docs", so perhaps "Harbor CLI" would be the better option than "Harbor CLI Docs". Double Docs..
2. • This looks a bit lost here, Some introduction information would be helpful eg. taken from the readme. including the supported functionality.
     • Maybe we don't need this page at all and can jump straight into the cli commands.
     • If we want to keep that page it would make sense to provide some examples, also taken from the readme

The entries look a bit random, maybe
some logical order and separation would be helpful here.

Thank you for your feedback and sharing your thoughts! Below are my proposed updates based on your feedback—please let me know what you think.

1. Menu Placement & Naming

You’re right that “Harbor CLI” currently looks a bit like a section title rather than a clickable entry. To improve visibility, I’ll:

• Separated by a thin horizontal rule so it stands apart visually.
• Rename the entry to “Harbor CLI” (instead of “Docs”) to make it clearer what you’re clicking into.

If you prefer an alternative placement or styling, I’m open to suggestions!

2. Intro Page vs. Direct CLI Commands

I agree that the current intro page feels a bit empty without examples.

This comes from the fact that i moved some of the docs files including the intro page from this repo to the harbor-cli repo. The script cli-docs.sh that fetches the docs to this repo follows the latest release of the harbor-cli repo. The docs that have been moved to harbor-cli are not yet there since there was no 0.0.7 release of harbor-cli yet. When checking out main of harbor-cli the docs look like this:

Please let me know if you’d prefer any tweaks—happy to adjust placement, naming, or depth of content until it feels right!

@qcserestipy Mayve it would make sense to inject into the top page the tag version this documentation refers too?

Here on the top down in the bottom...
