The following lectures will explain how to create and build a project locally using a specific technology.
Installing tools and having the chance to "play" with them locally is important. This only reduces the learning curve but also makes debugging easier.
For that reason, I recommend that you do the steps as presented in the following videos.
While I recommend following along with the videos, I can totally understand if you are not interested in the steps or the tools presented.
As an alternative to installing the tools locally on your computer, you can simply fork the project below and work solely on the pipeline.
