Qubes Source Code Repositories

All the Qubes code is kept in GIT repositories. We divided the project into several components, each of which has its own separate repository:

• core.git -- the core Qubes infrastructure responsible for VM management, VM temaplates, fs sharing, etc.
• gui.git -- GUI virtualization, both Dom0 and VM side.
• template-builder.git - scripts and other files used to create Qubes templates and NetVM images.

You can browse the repositories ​on line via GitWeb. The Qubes official repositories are in the mainstream directory.

To clone a repository:

git clone git://qubes-os.org/mainstream/<repo_name>.git <repo_name>

e.g.:

git clone git://qubes-os.org/mainstream/core.git core

Currently the preferred way of contributing to the project is by sending a patch via the project's mailing list (git format-patch).
