Obtaining source code
GIMP source code lives in the gimp repository on the GNOME git
server.
Notes: for more information on the git distributed version control tool, we
advise the very good online documentation;
to know more about GNOME’s git solution, go here.
The GNOME git server hosts a couple of GIMP related repositories:
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| babl | Pixel format conversion library |
| gegl | Generic Graphical Library |
| gimp | GIMP and the standard set of plug-ins |
| gimp-data | GIMP submodule with Data files (NOT related with gimp-data-extras) |
| gimp-data-extras | GIMP Data files such as brushes, gradients, patterns and the like; outdated plug-ins are sometimes moved there as well |
| gimp-perl | GIMP Perl bindings and a bunch of nice gimp-perl scripts |
| gimp-tiny-fu | GIMP Tiny-Fu, a drop-in replacement for Script-Fu |
If you wish to help with core development, you should clone at least
babl,
gegl and
gimp repositories.
GIMP also provides release archives. This is preferred when building stable releases.
- https://download.gimp.org/pub/babl
- https://download.gimp.org/pub/gegl
- https://download.gimp.org/pub/gimp
Our websites also have git repositories:
| Module | Description |

| gimp-web-devel | The source of the pages you are reading right now |
| gimp-extensions | The potential successor of GIMP Registry. If you wish to contribute, would be cool to try the Internship |
The following repositories are archived (development stopped and the repository is read-only):
