Awesome, many thanks @aboqasem! 🎉

@meysholdt please confirm good reception of CLA. 🙏

[jankeromnes]

Thanks for this cool idea! I agree that it's quite tedious to always change the provider host, e.g. when you're adding multiple projects and Gitpod doesn't show you the right provider by default.

The code looks good to me (with one very minor nit). I would also be keen to test it, so I'll trigger a CI build:

/werft run

[jankeromnes]

Ah, the CI doesn't pick up review comments, so let's try this again:

/werft run
