This is a Blink assisted attempt to add functionality to the CLI to enable the retrieval of workspace ID's and their build logs to the CLI in order to remove the need to use the web UI or make a direct API call. Useful when creating workspaces via CLI and they fail to launch. The idea came about as a result of a customer support request and observing a gap in functionality.
