The solution creates a flask application that allows to manage configuration templates between DNA Center Lab, DNA Center Prod and Github.

• Templates can be created on Github in the format of project_name/file_name with the template content from DNA Center Configuration Templates
• Template status can be tracked between the different mediums and the sync status can be viewed on the GUI.
• Templates can be pushed/updated in DNA Center Prod from Github Content.

For details please view "Usage" below.
