How long is the package going to stay under "testing"? Is it possible that it will get promoted to the default repository in the near future and thus installable via apk add github-cli (no extra arguments)?

I'm asking because maybe we can hold off offering this documentation until the package is "official"

Sure! I'll try to move it to community repo and possibly backport to atleast v3.14 soon.

Thanks. I'll close this PR for now, but please open a similar PR once the package lands in community and is easily available.
