## What it is
A Git repository containing the French Civil Code (Code civil) as text files, with each legislative amendment recorded as a commit. It makes legal history browsable and diffable using standard version-control tooling.

## Use cases

- see what a specific law changed in the civil code via a diff
- search the French civil code as plain text files
- track legislative changes to French law over time
- use the civil code text as a dataset for legal NLP research
- make French legislation more accessible to citizens

## When to choose
- you want to read or diff the French Civil Code with git tooling
- you need a plain-text, versioned corpus of French law for analysis
- you want to show how a law modified the code via a commit diff

## When to avoid

- you need other French codes beyond the Code civil
- you need structured metadata like article numbers or dates in a machine-readable format
