Push devfile to the cluster as a ConfigMap #5366
Description
While using odo, Developer Console and VS Code plugin, a developer could be switching between the multiple inner loop tools before committing to the git repository. However, without a devfile, it's difficult for odo to do anything real except show components as it currently does with odo list.
It's imperative to commit the devfile to a repository so that a team of developers can perform various actions like bringing up the same application, edit the application, etc. But from a single developer's perspective, it would be helpful to have seamless experience while switching between any of the tools, viz. odo, dev console and VS Code plugin, on their own environment. One example I can think of is a developer running CRC and VS Code on their development system.
To this end, saving the devfile as a ConfigMap could make things easier for various tools (thinking more from odo perspective here) to perform more actions on a component than just be able to list it.
