Importing an application

Let's perform the following steps to import an existing application into the Jenkins X environment:

1. Clone or use an existing application. As an example, we will create a clone of the hello-world example:

$ mkdir import && cd import
$ git clone https://github.com/k8sdevopscookbook/hello-world.git

2. Remove the Git files from the cloned directory. This will remove the Git history from the directory:

$ cd hello-world & sudo rm -r .git/

3. Run the following command in the folder to import the source code into Jenkins X:

$ jx import
