Vim source archives

If you want to join in and help developing Vim, you may want to get all the original files. You also need these when compiling Vim for systems not mentioned on the download page. Use one of the methods mentioned below.

The preferred way is to use GitHub. You can easily get the latest version with all the patches, and go back to an older version if you need to.

If you prefer Mercurial over git, you can use the Mercurial mirror. Works very similar to git, but has a different set of commands (some argue it's better).

CVS and Subversion only contain versions before 7.3.

Note: the FTP mirror has been retired with the v9.1 release and is no longer accessible.
