odo-backstage-software-template

This is a Software Template for Backstage that allows users to pick a Devfile Stack from a configured Devfile Registry. It then generates and publishes a starter project to a GitHub repository, and finally registers the new entity into the Backstage catalog.

It does so by leveraging both the DevfileSelectorExtension Custom Field extension and the devfile:odo:* Custom Actions available at https://github.com/redhat-developer/backstage-odo-devfile-plugin.
