Legalize Es Spanish Legislation

This is a Git repository containing 8,600+ Spanish laws as Markdown files, with every legislative reform tracked as a commit going back to 1960. Each law is a single file named by its BOE identifier, with YAML frontmatter for metadata like rank (constitución, ley-organica, etc.) and status (vigente or derogado). You can grep across all laws, git diff between versions to see exactly what changed in a reform, or git log to see the full timeline of amendments to something like the Spanish Constitution. The commit messages include source URLs for each reform. It's built for programmatic analysis of Spanish legislation, and the examples show how to parse frontmatter, track when specific phrases were added, or compare the state of a law between two dates. Useful if you're building legal tools or doing legislative research where you need the actual text and change history, not just metadata.
