Upload worksheet to scastie

[phdoerfler]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I start hacking in a worksheet, eventually I want to share it with the world.

Describe the solution you'd like
A command to upload the active worksheet to Scastie together with the sbt configuration.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually opening up Scastie, creating a new file, manually replicating the SBT build, copy pasting the worksheet into it.

Thanks for reporting! I think that might be an interesting thing to explore, however we would need to change the worksheet to something sbt understands, which might not be ideal. This will no longer be a worksheet and would need to me a normal Scala file, which would need to be run. What format would you see it in? Put everything into a Main object plus the sbt configuration with dependencies?

It's possible currently to use the Copy worksheet output command and lens to share the results with other users, which might be another workaround here.

I'm assuming that Scastie has (or will have) some sort of API for this, so the user doesn't have to manually add anything.
Scastie does support worksheets, in fact from an outside perspective they seem pretty close if not identical to Metals worksheets:

It also has a dedicated section for configuring the build:

It just seems too good a match to ignore.

I didn't know that! Thanks!
