DESCRIBE YOUR PR

Add a dedicated /cli/snapshots/ page for sentry-cli build snapshots, the command that underpins Snapshots uploads. Makes the command discoverable from the CLI left nav and documents behavior that wasn't previously covered.

  • Adds docs/cli/snapshots.mdx — basic usage, git metadata auto-detection (head/base SHA, VCS provider, PR number), --selective sharding, --diff-threshold, and a full flag reference.
  • Moves the sentry-cli build snapshots flag table out of docs/product/snapshots/uploading-snapshots/index.mdx — that page now links to the CLI reference.
  • Expands the one-line sentry-cli mention in docs/platforms/android/snapshots/index.mdx into a short section with an example for Android users who don't use the Sentry Android Gradle Plugin.

  • PR was reviewed and approved by any necessary SMEs (subject matter experts)
  • PR was reviewed and approved by a member of the Sentry docs team

Add a dedicated /cli/snapshots/ page documenting the experimental
`sentry-cli build snapshots` command: basic usage, git metadata
auto-detection behavior, --selective sharding, and the full flag
reference.

Move the flag table out of the uploading-snapshots product page and
link to the new CLI page instead. Expand the Android guide's one-line
sentry-cli mention into a short section with a concrete example for
users who don't use the Sentry Android Gradle Plugin.

Bug: The new documentation for sentry-cli build snapshots omits the --url flag, which was present in the previous documentation, creating a documentation regression.
Severity: MEDIUM

Suggested Fix

Restore the --url flag and its description to the flag reference table in docs/cli/snapshots.mdx. If the flag is no longer functional or is deprecated, this should be explicitly documented rather than silently removing it.

not valid.

Location: docs/cli/snapshots.mdx#L80-L101

Potential issue: The documentation for `sentry-cli build snapshots` was moved to a new
page, `docs/cli/snapshots.mdx`. In the process, the `--url <URL>` flag, which was
present in the old documentation, was omitted from the flag reference table in the new
file. The new page is presented as the "full flag reference," making this omission a
documentation regression. This can negatively impact users of self-hosted Sentry
instances who may rely on this flag, as they will no longer find it in the canonical
reference. The removal appears to be unintentional.
