Introducing jellyctl

jellyctl is a CLI for managing your Jellyfin server. Make sure to check the repository for the latest version of jellyctl.

As I didn’t want to craft every HTTP call to the API myself, I generated a Go client from the OpenAPI spec. You can find the Go client in the jellyfin-go repository.
