Quick Q about creating OpenShift apps.
So in OpenShift Application wizard:
1. To create a new OpenShift app based on existing Git source, can click Advanced, clear 'use default source code' and provide git URL.
2. To create a new OpenShift app based on existing workspace project, can clear 'create a new project' and select existing workspace project
{quote}

Both look like they will create an OpenShift app based on an existing template.
In the wizard it seems like you can set both for an app but surely one will just overwrite the other.
I'm assuming that you wouldn't use both of these at the same time, right?

You can actually use both even though it could not make a lot of sense. But there's no "overwrite" happening: 
1) is to tell OS to use your source code (from given git-repo) when creating the new app. OS will start the app with your source instead of the default template (there's no merge happening). Your source has to be fully OS aware: ex. you need to have it with the .openshift-folder, you need the OS-profile in your (maven) pom.xml. 
In 2) OS will start the application with the default template and we're git-merging it with your local (eventually non-OS-aware) source code. 

Cheers
