CLI command for Running Tasks

[ChevronTango]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Currently its very difficult to rerun a task, or test a task, when building out a .gitpod.yml

Describe the behaviour you'd like

the ability to use the gitpod command line to call specific tasks in the .gitpod.yml eg:

gp tasks run init "My Task1"
gp tasks run command "My Second Task"

Describe alternatives you've considered

whilst you can just copy and paste the commands, it gets a bit cumbersome, so a quick way to trigger the commands in the same way gitpod would, would help with quick and easy testing of these commands.

@ChevronTango have you tried using gp validate, yet?

I'd be keen to hear what you think, and if it solves your issue 🙏

I think this is a duplicate of:

• [gp cli] restart tasks support #8691

And relates to:

• Epic: Remove need to commit to git (Gitpod "Inner Loop") #7671

Will close, but please do re-open if you have issues, or you have more information to share 🙏
