Setup Local Governance

Stepwise guide to DIGIT Local Governance deployment

Overview

DIGIT Local Governance comes with configurable "CI as code", "Deploy as code"..etc, which can be utilised to set up the pipelines and deploy new modules.

Note: Changing the DIGIT code has implications for upgrades. That is, you may not be able to upgrade to the latest version of DIGIT depending on the changes that have been made. New modules are generally not a problem for upgrades.
