## ABOUT
Clover Crate is an unofficial documentation of the Clover Bootloader and its features to help you figuring out what each option does. Its structure follows the hierarchy of the `config.plist` and the corresponding sections in Clover Configurator. 

Almost each available setting/parameter (besides obvious ones) is explained. Special attention to detail was given to the ACPI section, as this is one of the most important interfaces for configuring a Hackintosh. In each section/chapter, you can click on the list menu on the top left to select a feature you are interested in to jump to the corresponding entry so you don't have to scroll all the way through a document. I am talking about this one:

I created this repo for several reasons:

1. **Overcoming** language barriers: Clover's official documentation (PDF, 171 pages) is only available in russian.
2. **Condensing** available information in one place, presenting it in a more current fashion, using Markdown and github.
3. **Consolidating and Unifying** sources which are scattered all over the net: the manual is only available in russian on github, the changelog is only available at insanelymac and only updated sporadically. The Clover Wiki at Source Forge hasn't been updated in years.
4. **Exemplifying** Clover's features using Clover Configurator.

  The information provided in this repository is primarily based on excerpts of the official russian documentation for Clover r5129 using AI-based translation tools (deepl, google and yandex translate). The translations were reviewed and redacted afterwards, so that they follow the rules of English grammar and spelling while preserving their meaning. Nevertheless, some facts may have been lost during the process of translation.
