Ranvier (named after the French neurophysiologist), is a system for managing all of your application's config in a centralized, transparent, and fault-tolerant way. It consists of

• A Git repository
• A "Node of Ranvier" server which will poll the specified Git repository
• A Ranvier client which will maintain the configuration within your application

1. Create a Git repo with your JSON config schema files.
   • See the example repo for a simple example.
2. Setup the Ranvier server to point at your created Git repo.
3. Connect to your Ranvier server with one of the clients. Currently supported clients are
   • Go

Ranvier consists of the following packages

1. server - All code for the Ranvier server is stored here. The server handles polling the Git repo which houses your config files as well as exposing that config to your applications.
2. client - The Go client used to communicate with the server. Many more languages soon to be supported.
3. lang - The engine for compiling your schema config files to actual config files.
4. cli - A tool for interacting with Ranvier and supporting local dev while using Ranvier.
5. commons - All common code shared amongst all of the packages within Ranvier.
