AzureLocal Platform

Centralized standards, reusable workflows, test frameworks, and scaffolding for the AzureLocal organization.

What this is

AzureLocal/platform is the single home for everything that's shared across the ~28 repos in the AzureLocal GitHub organization. Product repos contain only product-specific code and reference this repo for standards, testing frameworks, CI primitives, and scaffolding.

Companion repo: AzureLocal/.github owns GitHub-metadata governance (community health files, org-level reusable workflows). platform owns developer tooling.

How product repos consume this

Every product repo carries three breadcrumbs pointing here:

1. A README badge linking to this repo
2. A STANDARDS.md stub at repo root linking to platform/standards
3. A .azurelocal-platform.yml metadata file declaring the repo type and which platform features it adopts

Reusable workflows are referenced by tag:

jobs:
ci:
uses: AzureLocal/platform/.github/workflows/reusable-ps-module-ci.yml@v1

See docs/reusable-workflows/consumer-patterns.md for copy-paste examples per repo type.
