Feature #17375
openCreate file copies of template changes for use with VCS
Description
It would be nice if we had the option to write templates to a file. I believe the current method is the templates are saved to a DB?
This makes version control annoying. The current method I have to use is once a change on the template is made, copy and paste those changes into a text file, then push to VCS.
I understand it is possible to do the reverse with the https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_templates plugin, but this is basically the same method, but in reverse:
Edit the file, push to VCS, plugin syncs to the repo. This method means not being able to use the UI (which isnt necessary, but it makes viewing previews for accuracy, easier)
I would like to request a feature, that gives an option in the templates to save to a local directory. That way users can make the changes in the UI, preview those changes, and if they look good, easily push to VCS via the local save point.
