About the Code
The code itself is written rather cleanly in an attempt to self-document. If you've spotted some areas of code that could be improved, please feel free to discuss it on the Developing jQuery Core Forum. All input is gladly appreciated!
All of the code is available in two formats:
- Compressed (which allows you to have a significantly smaller file size) and
- Uncompressed (good for debugging and to understand what is behind the magic).
If you're interested in downloading Plugins developed by jQuery contributors, please visit the Plugins site.
jQuery is provided under the MIT or GPL license.

jQuery Git
This work-in-progress build, known as jQuery Git, is generated once a minute from the jQuery Git repository. It is provided as a convenience for anyone who wants to help test changes in the next version of jQuery.
When reporting issues with jQuery Git builds of jQuery, please make sure you include the date and time the snapshot was generated (it is listed at the top of the file).
Linking to jQuery Git builds directly from the CDN is not advised, as the file is constantly refreshed and may change from minute to minute as new commits are made to the repository.
WARNING: Do NOT use the jQuery Git build in a production system or live application! It is not tested. It is not stable. It will probably blow up on you unexpectedly. You have been warned! If in doubt, stop and use the current release.

Build from Git
Note: The following is quite advanced. If you wish to just use a work-in-progress version of jQuery, please try the jQuery Git build instead.
All source code is kept under Git revision control, which you can browse online. There's a download link available for any file or directory, if you only want to download a portion of the jQuery code.
If you have access to Git, you can connect to the repository here:
git clone git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git |
You can also check out a specific version of jQuery from GitHub:
git clone git://github.com/jquery/jquery.gitgit checkout 1.2.6 |
The repository's README has more information on building and testing your own jQuery, as well as links to core style guidelines and tips for patching bugs.
