Gitpod port control via gp-cli

[konne]

for me the current gp foreward-port is missleading it should be changed because it control the public mode

Please introduce a clear API for the port management via the gp cli with the following functions:

in the following text [local] means always a port that is accessibly from the local computer via local-companion / vscode / ...

1. make a port public accessibly or not: for example
   gp port 8080 --public or gp port 8080 --private
2. check if local-companion is available
   gp port status -> returns all ports with the current status and if local-companion is available
3. make a port local available or unavailable and define the port mapping
   gp port -R 80:127.0.0.1:3000
gp port -L 80:127.0.0.1:3000. ... use SSH logic because this is well known
4. delete a port forwarding
   gp port -KR 80
gp port -KL 80 ... again use SSH logic for deleting remote and local port forwards

This would allow having full control of the workspace.

Yes please!
Being able to change ports programmatically, after workspace already running would be a great feature!

Some updates here...

gp port status -> returns all ports with the current status and if local-companion is available

Please see: #10388 (documentation pending)

However I'm not sure what you mean by "if local-companion" is available, in this context?

make a port public accessibly or not: for example

This is also described in: #9930 (not yet implemented)

@loujaybee can you please also add a possibility to fetch the port status as JSON result. The printed cli table is nice in the terminal, but hard to use in bash,... scripts (see #10388 implementation) for example with the --json argument

Thanks for the feedback @konne, I've added as a separate issue, as if we make that change, would be good to do it unilaterally across all commands to keep them consistent 🙏 - #10448
