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.

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in the history of KVM in the QEMU codebase, the old qemu-kvm.git fork repository is still available (but completely outdated nowadays):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