Make template sources global instead of per-connection #1866

Open tobespc opened 4 years ago

tobespc commented 4 years ago

Currently the list of known/configured template sources is maintained separately for each connection. So if I configure a certain template source on my local connection, I also have to repeat the configuration on each remote connection I have (and vice versa).

Ideally we would maintain a single list of the sources somewhere on the user's local machine and apply them to all connections.

One option is provide this function in cwctl, so it is implemented once and can be used from all the IDEs. Most of the info could be stored in the ~/.codewind folder,

One downside is that all this would only work for the Desktop IDEs, supporting Che scenarios would need to be done differently.

Since we will be changing how tempalte sources are handled we should probably look at https://github.com/eclipse/codewind/issues/1656 as part of this.
