Initialize Git Repository with Theia

[jeanlucburot]

So, I didn't find any way to initialize a Git Repository using Theia in the browser. Hence, I guess this would be a feature request to be able to do that.

The git view doesn't make sense when there is no git repository. Instead, a button Initialize Git Repository should be rendered, that when clicked calls a command that runs git init.

Indeed it would be quite convenient to have just a blue button "Initialize" instead of the current Commit button and above textbox.

The button + is no longer available. Instead the following warning is displayed: "No repository found".
Now it works by F1> Git: Initialize Repository.
Maybe providing the possibility to select a Folder would be nice.
Or something similar to VS Code.
