+The it/dev repo is used by the O-RAN SC Integration and Testing project for hosting miscellaneous development codes.
+This repo contains integration artifacts for developing Near Realtime RAN Intelligent Controller applications (xApps).

+well-described interfaces. The artifacts here help the xApp developers to generate (Near Realtime) RIC Platform deployment ready Helm charts for their xApps.
