Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Similar to a cloud shell, I'd like to be able to start a Daytona workspace with no repo attached.

Describe the solution you'd like Its the same flow as daytona create except without a repository specified and the additional --shell parameter.

Describe alternatives you've considered The cloud shells are similar or docker run image. But eventually I'd like the all the goodness of the future versions of daytona workspaces, ide integration, dotfiles capability, automatic credentials (via plugins), etc.

I like the idea. Personally, not sure I would find it very useful but I can see the appeal of running isolated remote shells with different providers.

@vedranjukic thoughts?

I was thinking about "other" sources for the project code besides the git repository. In the #362 I started drafting the schema. In the "source" section I was thinking about "file/folder" location as a source for the code. We could also allow the "empty" source (blank project).
