Bridge for Git Explorer vscode extension

Cause

Bridge for Git Explorer vscode extension unable to load the schema for Bridge for Git due to schema for ebg is missing. 

 

Resolution

Make sure Bridge for Git Plug-in for Zowe CLI is installed by running 'zowe plugins list' command. 

Then run 'zowe config schema' to validate that ebg schema is in place. If the schema for ebg is missing, update the schemas by running 'zowe config update-schemas'

Also update the ebg profile to add the missing user and token as secure items by running:

zowe config set "profiles.$NAME.properties.token" $TOKEN --secure
zowe config set "profiles.$NAME.properties.user" $USER --secure
