Enable toggling "Share" workspace setting via GitPod CLI

[vivdlu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I want to generate a shareable workspace URL via GitPod CLI, so many colleagues can visit the same URL and see the workspace. I can already grab the URL via GitPod CLI and toggle the "Share" setting via the UI, but I want to do it entirely via GitPod CLI. I'm requesting a feature where I can toggle the "Share" setting via GitLab CLI command.

Describe the behaviour you'd like

Some sort of command like gp create workspace <insert-path> --ssh --share that toggles the workspace as shareable via CLI.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using snapshots is the only alternative I found in this doc, but it feels redundant to spin up a whole new workspace and that takes more time.

Additional context

If this is not the intended use of the "Share" setting, let me know. I'm also interested in knowing if it's possible to apply custom URLs or custom firewalls to the workspace URL (to mitigate security concerns around revealing confidential content). I understand this might be a separate ticket though.

Are you using VS Code web as your IDE?

Hi @vivdlu,

Thanks for confirming. For now your only option is to use the "Share" button on the bottom toolbar of VSCode. I don't see this being implemented in the foreseeable future but I'll share this internally.
