Source Code

Source code repositories are hosted by Qt Project and linked to Gerrit framework for reviewing commits. The actual development occurs in Qt Project’s Gerrit framework. The repositories are officially mirrored to Gitorious and unofficially on GitHub. Patches submitted to GitHub should, ideally, be synced with Gitorious but its probably best not to make this assumption.
