Get source code

The KolibriOS developer team makes use of a central Git source code repository. It contains not only KolibriOS kernel and drivers, but also almost all programs and libraries that are present in this OS.

The repository is located https://git.kolibrios.org/KolibriOS/kolibrios.git

There are also read-only repository mirrors:

• https://github.com/KolibriOS/kolibrios.git
• http://repo.or.cz/w/kolibrios.git

Keep in mind that these repositories are for checkouts only, not commits.
