Repository Structure

Thunder is made up of a number of different GitHub repositories, although you don't need all of them to use Thunder.

Note

The Thunder Tools repo is only used in versions of Thunder newer than R4.0. The repo contents used to live in the main Thunder repo itself, but was moved out to its own repo for ease of maintenance.
