You can read about the general approach to capturing decisions on the GDS Way page on Architecture Decisions and specifics about MADR are available at https://adr.github.io/madr/.

Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

bundle add way_of_working-decision_record-madr
