Get started

ETSI Forge collaboration process is based on the Git versioning system. This means that the shared materials and documents are tracked and versioned at each revision.

In this page we will go through the initial setup to contribute to the Forge.

In case something is missing, feel free to edit and add it to this page. If help is needed you can send an email at cti_support@etsi.org.
