1 Background

Devops and management of KiCad projects and libraries (symbols, footprints and 3D model) are crucial to maintaining proper design practices.

2 Project Templates

Use of the KiCad project template is highly recommended as it contains GitHub actions workflows to ensure correct design and variant releases.

The project template is managed here: kicad_template.

3 Internal Component Libraries

A standardized GitHub repo is used to maintain the internal component library. This repo is also configured with GitHub actions workflows to ensure component accuracy.

Libraries are managed here: pcb_library.
