Unofficial repository of laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan

This is unofficial experimental repository of laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

See index of documents in Kazakh and Russian.

Why

The idea is to provide legislation in a form of Git repository, with all the historical versions available, so Git can be used to view and analyze changes.

While there are other existing interfaces for legislation information, such as official Әділет web interface, possibility to use standard open tooling must be useful nevertheless.

How it can be useful

Some examples:

  • Commit log shows what has changed recently.
  • Difference between versions of a legislation can be viewed with git diff, git log -p, or using visual Git interface.
  • git blame can show when specific paragraphs of legal text were introduced.

Technical notes

The repository is routinely rebuilt and force-pushed.

Date of each commit corresponds to the date when the change was made to the legal text historically.
