The simplest way to get the kernel code is :
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
If you want to get the other branches then head over to <a href="http://git.kernel.org">”Kernel Git Page”
This will get the Linux kernel tree. As of today , 12 days ago, the tree was tagged to 2.6.31.
Now thats cool, but do you want it to be simpler and do not want to know the git command get to what you want to do that is learn linux kernel then here\’s what you can do :
sudo yum install teamgit
Here is the interface that you will get to add new repo:
![\"get_dialog\"](\"http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/get_dialog.jpe\" "\\"get_dialog\\"")
<div>
Once you have added the repo, then you can see all the tags and files. Here are the screenshots:
