Code

kernel git tree

The kvm kernel code is available through a git tree (like the kernel itself). To create a repository using git, type

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git

Alternatively, it is also accessible through the kernel.org gitweb interface: [1]

For subsequent upgrades use the command

git pull

in the git working directory.

kernel git workflow

See Kvm-Git-Workflow

userspace git tree

As of QEMU 1.3, the KVM userspace code is in mainline QEMU. Please use and develop with

git clone https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu.git

If you want to contribute code, please see the guidelines and submit patches to qemu-devel@nongnu.org.

If you are interested in the history of KVM in the QEMU codebase, the old qemu-kvm.git fork repository is still available (but completely outdated nowadays):

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git

Alternatively, it is also accessible through the kernel.org gitweb interface: [2]
