What is an Application?
When working with the Ghaymah CLI, an Application is the central resource you’ll interact with.
It’s not just source code—it’s a deployable unit wrapped in a container, ready to run anywhere.
Think of an Application as the thing you create, launch, update, and monitor through the CLI.
Everything else—like containers, configs, and logs—revolves around it.

Basic Usage
gy resource app [command]
Aliases: app, a
Tip: You can use -h or --help with any command to see all available options.

Dockerfileare present in the same directory.
Once these requirements are met, deploy the application with:
