The main branch provides the initial template for the exercises that follow the exercise Create a Hello World Application. It contains an almost initial CAP project in which only a test folder has been created. In this test folder you will find .http files for testing the respective exercises and .csv files with data for filling the database tables.
For the exercises of the learning journey, SAP Business Application Studio is used as the development environment. It is assumed that you have access to this development tool.
