I'm afraid that we have done a big update on the porch CLI user guide because teh old one was out of date and incorrect.

@liamfallon @kispaljr Did some additional work on this PR. I added the Package Orchestration chapter from the kpt book (https://github.com/kptdev/kpt/blob/main/documentation/content/en/book/08-package-orchestration/_index.md) here under Use Cases. However, we noticed that it is almost exactly the same as the Using the Porch CLI tool page we have here in Nephio, under Porch. Only difference is that the kpt one has kpt commands while the Porch one has porchcli commands. Wondering if this Use Cases page is even needed at all. What are your thoughts?

kpt alpha rpkg is defunct and has been replaced with porchctl rpkg

So basically the Use Cases page would be duplicated content with outdated commands, thus not needed.

I think most of it is already covered in the CLI guide yes. Although we may be missing some extra info. ie
"You can find out more about the upstream and upstreamLock sections of the Kptfile in an earlier chapter of the book."

@liamfallon We should look to remove the "kpt alpha x" from the kpt docs etc.

I've created kptdev/kpt#4235 to update the kpt documentation. Which alpha commands are deprecated?

For sure the "rpkg" and "repo" commands have moved to porchctl.
The others I am not sure on as we don't use them tbh.

@efiacor @liamfallon So what we did was we merged content from the Use Cases to the Using the Porch CLI tool page. And since this Using the Porch CLI tool page would be the only page under Basic Usage, we decided to just toss that and move it back under Porch user guides.

I copied and tried to rework some instructions on how to download and edit package, it starts around line 365. We are not sure if it is needed or the updates on it are correct, please check this part and let me know if. Thank you!
