A Git repository dataset of South Korean statutes, where each law is a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter metadata and each amendment is a Git commit dated to its actual promulgation date. It enables searching, diffing, and tracking legal history with standard Git tools like grep, git log, and git diff.

Use cases

• search all Korean statutes for a keyword with grep
• view the full amendment history of a specific law like the Civil Code
• diff what changed in a law between two dates
• get the text of a statute as it was on a given date
• feed Korean legal texts into AI or RAG pipelines
• analyze legislative change patterns across ministries
• compare a law with its enforcement decree

When to choose

• you need machine-readable, version-controlled Korean legal texts
• you want to track exactly when and how a statute changed
• you prefer plain Git/Markdown over government PDF viewers
• you are building legal search, analysis, or LLM tools on Korean law

When to avoid

• you need official certified legal documents for court filings
• you need real-time updates the moment laws are promulgated
• you require stable commit hashes (force-pushes can rewrite history)
• you need jurisdictions outside South Korea
