Document Succession Highly Manual Toolkit Manual

The Document Succession Highly Manual Toolkit Manual provides instructions for reading, writing, and testing document successions as described in the Document Succession Identifiers (DSI) and Document Succession Git Layout (DSGL) specifications. Managing document successions using this toolkit is highly manual. Most users will prefer using the Hidos software package instead. This manual is for advanced users and serves as a reference implementation for developers of software that interoperates with Hidos.

The Document Succession Highly Manual Toolkit (DSHMT) consists of common tools available on popular Linux distributions and POSIX systems such as macOS. The two key packages are Git (2.34 or later) and OpenSSH (8.8 or later). For information on which tools and packages to install, refer to the Installation page.
