The CRW UI allows the user define custom commands that are useful in the development environment [1].

Please consider allow commands to be annotated or otherwise marked for immediate execution when the workspace is initialized.  Possible uses:

• The devfile author could download (curl) additional build artifacts to be used by the user.  The 'latest' version could be obtained.
• Build artifacts could be manipulated prior to access by the developer, perhaps based on the environment.
• Mundane tasks could be automated, freeing the developer to concentrate on fewer things.
• Etc.  Users will find needs
