dotnet user-secrets edit

[dotnet-policy-bot]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Editing user secrets via dotnet user-secret isn't the most comfortable way. In many cases, I want to edit the underlying JSON file. In VS one can do that by right clicking the project and selecting Edit User Secrets. Having a way to do this from the CLI would be nice.

Describe the solution you'd like

Git has a similar issue in their config system and it exposes a git config --edit command that launches the configuration file in the default editor.

I know one can get the path via dotnet user-secrets list -v but that isn't as obvious as a top-level command like dotnet user-secret edit.

Sorry, didn't mean to use the @dotnet-policy-bot account to file this issue. Was still logged in as it :-/

Seems dotnet user-secret comes from Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.UserSecrets, which is created in the runtime repo. So, I've transferred the issue here.

@MiYanni the issue here is not complaining about the wrong result coming from the library Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.UserSecrets but asking for easier way to edit the user secrets in the CLI In VS one can do that by right clicking the project and selecting Edit User Secrets. Having a way to do this from the CLI would be nice..

I moved the issue back to SDK repo. You can move it to any other repo if SDK is not the right one for CLI. Thanks!
