Getting Started With DIGIT

Overview

To enable any municipal service in a fresh environment and for the first time, we require a basic idea of what DIGIT does and the generic services required to set it up.

DIGIT is an open-source, customizable platform that lends itself to extensibility. New modules can be built on top of the platform to suit new use-cases or existing modules can be modified or replaced. To enable this, in addition to deploying DIGIT, a CD/CI pipeline has to be set up. CD/CI pipelines enable the end users to automate & simplify the build/deploy process.
