Used to deploy the pattern from the command-line
Deploys the operator with a repository and branch from the local clone of the repo
Provides a way to invoke the container which has all of the pre-requisites software installed (e.g. python, ansible, make)
Improved User Experience when deploying Patterns from the command line
When installing a pattern use:

./pattern.sh make install

When loading secrets into your deployment

./pattern.sh make load-secrets

pattern.sh uses your origin remote and current branch. To change the branch after a deployment, run make install in the new branch

Help Menu

pattern.sh comes with a help menu, to use it:

$ ./pattern.sh make help
