Pre-receive hooks/$GITHUB_VIA

[blastedt]

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/content/admin/policies/creating-a-pre-receive-hook-script.md

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The environment variable $GITHUB_VIA has a list of possible values.

1. This list needs an explanation of the meaning of each value (ex: slumlord, stafftools, etc are unclear)
2. This list needs to be updated to be current. For example, editing a file in Github's editor gives the value blob#save which isn't listed in the table at all.
3. This list needs to make clear that remote pushes (end user running git push in their local terminal) will not have $GITHUB_VIA set, and to list what other situations this variable will not be set.

Additional information

I would make this change myself but I honestly am having trouble determining the intended behavior! A docs update would be a great help to me.

Sorry, not sure how to respond to that! Could you let me know what you need more clearly please?

Edit: The weird image-only comment got deleted. Leaving this here so that context doesn't get destroyed.
