2026-10-11 Platform choice – GitHub (provisional)

Decision

SAMT-BU uses GitHub, in the samt-x organisation, for content, tasks and collaboration. The choice is provisional and can be revisited.

Background

GitHub has been used since the documentation work started in February 2026, without the choice having been recorded as a decision. It is recorded now because the choice is debatable from a digital sovereignty perspective, and because several pages in the documentation need a common place to refer to.

Rationale and trade-offs

Described in full under Introduction → Choice of git and git platform: why GitHub, what the choice costs in terms of digital sovereignty, the alternatives, what it would take to switch, and when the choice should be revisited.
