Research direction

Resolve the Terraform syntax question first, including whether the picker is a distinct block or an added layer, and review the referenced provider PR and possible new SDK. Then define the form type, component, tests, and API endpoint needed for GitHub and GitLab, including customer-hosted services and multiple repositories. Done means the syntax and approach are agreed and the listed frontend, backend, and test requirements are covered.

Description

BE Requirements:
TF syntax for this parameter has not been designed and there is debate over whether it should be a distinct block or an additional syntactical layer on top of our existing blocks.

Might have to use new SDK depending on approach.

  • and support multiple repos
