Compatibility between VS Extension and CLI config formats

[gbrocard]

Hi,
First of all, thanks for your work !

We've been using the VS Extension to maintain EF context in our team but we're now looking to automate part of it through a devops pipeline.
I've looked into the CLI but it seems that both config file format are not currently compatible with eachother.

You mentioned in this issue #2765 that you dropped the idea to homogenize the formats so I'm wondering what our options are currently.

Ideally I'd like to keep the ease of use of the VS Extension to scaffold the context and then my pipelines would handle the refresh of the scaffold regularly. Can I convert from one format to the other ? Or can the extension use the CLI format in some way ?

If you have any recommendations for my use case, I’d love to hear them.

Thanks !

@gbrocard I will re-open the linked issue and reconsider.

I actually only use the CLI version in my projects, and on the other hand I would NOT recommend pipeline based refresh of the generated code.

@gbrocard I accept PRs that can help complete #2765
