FreeBSD Source Tree (GitHub Publish-Only)
This repository is a publish-only mirror of the FreeBSD source tree, primarily used for experimentation with GitHub workflows like simple pull requests. It provides access to the complete source code for the FreeBSD operating system.
Project Introduction
Summary
This is the official GitHub repository for the FreeBSD source code. While it's a publish-only mirror for main development, it serves as a primary access point for users and developers to obtain, build, and explore the FreeBSD operating system source tree.
Problem Solved
Provides a publicly accessible, version-controlled repository of the FreeBSD operating system source code, enabling building, modification, and study of the OS.
Core Features
Complete OS Source Code
Contains the entire source code for the FreeBSD base system, including kernel, userland utilities, and libraries.
Integrated Build System
Includes the necessary Makefiles and build scripts to compile the entire operating system from source.
Full Version History
Provides full historical version control of the source code, mirroring the primary development repository.
Tech Stack
Use Cases
Accessing the FreeBSD source tree is essential for various technical activities related to the operating system:
Building FreeBSD from Source
Details
Download the source code to build a custom version of the FreeBSD operating system tailored to specific hardware or with experimental features.
