VA.gov Team Repository

This project aims to improve the lives of Veterans, their families, and their caregivers by facilitating the creation of interactive experiences on VA.gov on par with the private sector. It's comprised of a platform (the Veteran-facing Services Platform, aka VSP) which serves as the common framework for building cohesive products on VA.gov, and the VA.gov products themselves (the Veteran Facing Services, aka VFSs).

This repository is used to store non-code documents and files created and used by teams building the VSP and VFSs. It is also used for issue tracking across the platform and teams building on VA.gov.

You must install git-lfs locally in order to clone this repository.

An important note about security for contributors to this repository: this is a public, open source space! Which means it's great for collaborating, but decidedly not great for storing sensitive information (like credentials, PII, etc). So be mindful as you work in this repo. Don't store anything sensitive here!
