The contents of this directory are synced from the assets/ directory in the Gutenberg repository on GitHub to the assets/ directory of the Gutenberg WordPress.org plugin repository. Any changes committed directly to the plugin repository on WordPress.org will be overwritten.

The sync is performed by a GitHub Actions workflow that is triggered whenever a file in this directory is changed.

Since that workflow requires access to WP.org plugin repository credentials, it needs to be approved manually by a member of the Gutenberg Core team. If you don't have the necessary permissions, please ask someone in #core-editor.
