BOLTS is an Open Library for Technical Specifications.
This repository contains all the tools and data that are required to build the different distributions and the website. You only need to get the content of this repository if you want to contribute content to BOLTS or want to develop the tools that are used to manage it.
If you just want to use BOLTS, then you should get the BOLTS distribution
for the CAD tool of your choice from the
download section <http://jreinhardt.github.io/BOLTS/downloads.html>
of the webpage instead. Instructions on how to use the distributions can be
found in the
documentation section <http://jreinhardt.github.io/BOLTS/doc/index.html>.
The webpage contains a lot of general infos, an overview over the
specifications <http://jreinhardt.github.io/BOLTS/html/index.html> of all
parts contained in BOLTS and quite a bit of
documentation <http://jreinhardt.github.io/BOLTS/doc/index.html>.
