Change stack type from "files on server" to "git repo"?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but is there a way to do this in the UI? If not, is there a workaround? Thanks 🙏🏾

You can transition Stack in-place using temporary, UI Defined Sync.

1. Navigate to Stack, click Toml (upper right), copy contents
2. Click Syncs (sidebar) -> Create Sync -> name "temp" (doesn't matter)
3. Select UI defined, and paste in Toml you copied in step 1.
4. Edit Toml:
   a. remove files_on_server = true
   b. add linked_repo = "<repo_name>" (to link a Komodo Repo) OR git_provider = "your.git.provider" + repo = "<namespace>/<repo_name>"
   c. change run_directory to be relative to the repository root
5. Save, review Pending changes, and then execute to apply the changes.
6. The Stack now is in git repo mode. You can delete the "temp" Sync you used to do this change.

Note that if you have any existing relative data mounts inside current run directory, these will need to be accounted for as well. The final run directory Komodo uses may change from the above

Quick question: this seems quite simple, why isn't it directly configurable on the stack page? Not enough demand for it, I guess?

Anyway, thank you for this wonderful piece of software, @mbecker20 🙏🏾

Yes, that's it! Thank you for the detailed instructions 💯
