This repository is part of OpenStatute, an independent initiative which aims to make the law accessible to every citizen. It's built on top of the idea of GitHub for Law that by applying Git and other technologies, methodologies in software development and engineering, legal documents would become freely accessible and trackable by the public.
You can access the available legal documents via GitHub at: https://github.com/openstatute/us-statutes/tree/production or via OpenStatute: https://openstatute.org.
Legal documents and their revisions are kept in data folder. Each revision is stored as a markdown file named with its ratified date + included a front matter with additonal information regarding the change. Example.
Then, continuous integration (CI) system will automatically generate a Git tree based on the data and publish it to the production branch. Git allows users to easily track every change made to these legal documents. Example.
