A practical web-developer-friendly way to organize user identity, applications/tooling, shared libraries, and coding projects.

Invisible Layer - Access & Governance

The 4 layers describe what the thing is and Governance describes who can touch it.

This layer does not have files or directories. It consists of:

• GitHub org permissions
• Repo-level access, who can see repos?
• Branch protection rules, who can push?
• Code review requirements, who can approve PRs?
• CI checks, what CI must pass?
