⚖️ Legalize Spain: laws in Git with real amendment history
#

Legalize Spain turns state legislation into a Git repository. Each law lives in Markdown, and every amendment is recorded as a commit.

What stands out
#

  • 📚 More than 8,600 consolidated laws
  • 🕒 Full change history
  • 🔎 Search and file-level tracing
  • 🧾 Metadata in YAML frontmatter

It’s a very strong approach to make legal texts traceable and versioned with transparency.

🪄 Quick explanation
#

Think of a law as a living document.

Instead of keeping only the final version, Git lets you see who changed what, when, and why.

👉 Legalize does that for legislation: it turns legal change into traceable history.
