Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/hot-repo.

Description:

Establish a feature in the Heat CLI and Horizon clients that allows a configurable URL to be supplied as a repo for templates. It shall be defaulted to a community repository of well known best practices that the OpenStack user community can contribute to. A one-time repo registration command would save the preference in a local settings file like .heat. This would enable deployment of well known templates by a name, rather than specifying an explicit template file. The example below registers an alternate repo rather than the default OpenStack one, and installs a lamp stack with 2 app servers. If you skip the repo registration step, it just uses the community repo.

$ heat-cli repo http://repos.example.org/
$ heat-cli install lamp --parameters="AppServers=2"
