Sources and Community
The GCBoK is a static reference and lookup work. It does not integrate OSS sources; it links to the authoritative source topology of GitCover Commons (GCC).
Why we link
Linking serves a clear purpose:
- Single Source of Truth (SSoT): All canonical content, specifications, and tools are versioned and GPG-signed at one authoritative location.
- Discoverability: A public, FLOSS-oriented mirror increases visibility and avoids vendor lock-in.
- Community: Questions, bug reports, and discussions are consolidated at one community location; source-code references always point to the authoritative source.
- Reference character: The GCBoK stays a lean reference work; the living artifacts live in the repositories.
Authoritative sources
| Role | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Primary / SSoT | git.gitcover.org/GCC | Canonical storage (GPG-signed, versioned) |
| Public OSS Mirror / CDN | codeberg.org/org/gitcover-commons | Read-only mirror; FLOSS discovery (also for GCBoK and GitCover-related works) |
| Community Hub | github.com/gitcover-commons | Issues & Discussions; source-code reference to Codeberg. Not canonical |
