F4PGA aims to produce a completely open source FPGA design toolchain. The organization has a large presence on github with many repositories. One of the challenges with such a large effort is imposing some order and uniformity on the various repositories so that they all use the same code formatting, copyright licensing, documentation style, etc. One of the open issues on f4pga/ideas relates to creating a single common configuration github repository which is then included into every other repository to provide the desired uniformity. This project focuses on creating such a common configuration repository and modifying all other repositories to use it. To learn more, see Issue 51 on the F4PGA Ideas repository.
This document contains descriptions of the files in the repository. To find a detailed plan on how common-config will be updated/implemented in the future, see implementation_guide.md
