User Story

As an odo user, I want to be able to open a terminal in the container with my application So that I can run commands in the container and debug application.

Acceptance Criteria

• odo terminal command should automatically open bash/sh in the container where the application is currently running
• odo terminal --container mycontainer should open terminal to a container named mycontainer
• if there are multiple containers and the user doesn't specify one with --container flag odo should error out and list all container names and tell the user to specify one.

Grooming (Jul 6, 2023)

• The shell (bash, sh, ...) should be a flag, defaulting to bash
• -it (input / TTY) should be set automatically for the moment (as it is for now for odo run)
• --container is the name of the container component in the Devfile
• Dynamically create a new exec command in the Devfile in memory with the shell command executed (default value for workingDir is /projects):

- exec:
    commandLine: bash
    component: runtime
    workingDir: ${PROJECT_SOURCE}
  id: connect

Still relevant, and bumping priority to Medium because it came as a feature request following a recent talk at a local meetup.

Would really like this feature! commenting for visibility.

Another idea: have an option that allows certain commands to result in an interactive shell instead of just exiting (use case would be something like odo run python which would drop you into the python shell in your container)
