Configuring and Deploying an Application Using Git in OpenShift 4

Welcome to the lab. Here’s the scenario! You are the OpenShift admin working at the ZLand BioTech firm where you are in charge of supporting the developers in creating an early screening software that is going to revolutionize the industry for tracking symptoms of the dreaded Virus Z-19. This software is vital to the early warning system and tracking of the virus. Your job is to assist the developers in managing and creating the applications that make up the screening and tracking software. Tallahassee has become pretty demanding. He would like you to create a Node.js application that he can use with his Spring-Boot builds. Create the Node.js application called `twinkie` from the provided Git repo. Let's begin! > **Note:** This lab is meant to be run on your local environment. This will not work in our Playground or Lab environment currently.
