Doc is the documentation, such as the .Fx Handbook. To read more, see: .Pp .Lk https://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en/books/fdp-primer/ .Pp Ports, described further in .Xr ports 7 , are the way to build, package, and install third party software. To read more, see: .Pp .Lk https://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/ .Pp The last one, src, revolves around the source code for the base system, consisting of the kernel, and the libraries and utilities commonly called the world. .Pp The Committer's Guide, describing topics relevant to all committers, can be found at: .Pp .Lk https://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en/articles/committers-guide/ .Pp .Fx src development takes place in the project-hosted Git repository, located at: .Pp .Lk https://git.FreeBSD.org/src.git .Pp The push URL is: .Pp .Lk ssh://git@gitrepo.FreeBSD.org/src.git .Pp There is also a list of public, read-only Git mirrors at: .Pp .Lk https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/mirrors/#external-mirrors .Pp The .Ql main Git branch represents CURRENT; all changes are first committed to CURRENT and then usually cherry-picked back to STABLE, which refers to Git branches such as .Ql stable/13 . Every few years a new STABLE is branched from CURRENT, with an incremented major version number. Releases are then branched off STABLE and numbered with consecutive minor numbers. .Pp Layout of the source tree is described in .Xr hier 7 . Build instructions can be found in .Xr build 7 and .Xr release 7 . Kernel programming interfaces (KPIs) are documented in section 9 manual pages; use .Ql "apropos -s 9 ." for a list. Regression test suite is described in .Xr tests 7 . For coding conventions, see .Xr style 9 . .Pp To ask questions regarding development, use the mailing lists, such as freebsd-arch@ and freebsd-hackers@: .Pp .Lk https://lists.FreeBSD.org .Pp To get your patches integrated into the main .Fx repository use Phabricator; it is a code review tool that allows other developers to review the changes, suggest improvements, and, eventually, allows them to pick up the change and commit it: .Pp .Lk https://reviews.FreeBSD.org .Pp To check the latest .Fx build and test status of CURRENT and STABLE branches, the continuous integration system is at: .Pp .Lk https://ci.FreeBSD.org .Pp .Sh EXAMPLES Check out the CURRENT branch, build it, and install, overwriting the current system: .Bd -literal -offset indent git clone https://git.FreeBSD.org/src.git src cd src make -sj8 buildworld buildkernel installkernel shutdown -r now .Ed .Pp After reboot: .Bd -literal -offset indent cd src make -j8 installworld reboot .Ed .Pp Rebuild and reinstall a single piece of userspace, in this case .Xr ls 1 : .Bd -literal -offset indent cd src/bin/ls make clean all install .Ed .Pp Quickly rebuild and reinstall the kernel, only recompiling the files changed since last build; note that this will only work if the full kernel build has been completed in the past, not on a fresh source tree: .Bd -literal -offset indent cd src make -sj8 kernel KERNFAST=1 .Ed .Pp To rebuild parts of .Fx for another CPU architecture, first prepare your source tree by building the cross-toolchain: .Bd -literal -offset indent cd src make -sj8 toolchain TARGET_ARCH=armv6 .Ed .Pp Afterwards, to build and install a single piece of userspace, use: .Bd -literal -offset indent cd src/bin/ls make buildenv TARGET_ARCH=armv6 make clean all install DESTDIR=/clients/arm .Ed .Pp Likewise, to quickly rebuild and reinstall the kernel, use: .Bd -literal -offset indent cd src make buildenv TARGET_ARCH=armv6 make -sj8 kernel KERNFAST=1 DESTDIR=/clients/arm .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr git 1 , .Xr witness 4 , .Xr build 7 , .Xr hier 7 , .Xr ports 7 , .Xr release 7 , .Xr tests 7 , .Xr locking 9 , .Xr style 9 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm manual page was originally written by .An Matthew Dillon Aq Mt dillon@FreeBSD.org and first appeared in .Fx 5.0 , December 2002. It was since extensively modified by .An Eitan Adler Aq Mt eadler@FreeBSD.org to reflect the repository conversion from .Xr cvs 1 to .Xr svn 1 . It was rewritten from scratch by .An Edward Tomasz Napierala Aq Mt trasz@FreeBSD.org for .Fx 12.0 .
