standard-operating-procedures

Welcome! ☀️ This GitHub repository contains resources managing standard operating procedure (SOP) resources for the GDI project. We use this repository to manage SOP resources so that changes can be made and reviewed easily, issues and requests can be logged, and so we can ensure consistency and clarity across node operations.
