CodeIgniter Repositories

codeigniter4 organization

The CodeIgniter 4 open source project has its own GitHub organization.

There are several development repositories, of interest to potential contributors:

Repository	Audience	Description
CodeIgniter4	contributors	Project codebase, including tests & user guide sources
translations	developers	System message translations
coding-standard	contributors	Coding style conventions & rules
devkit	developers	Development toolkit for CodeIgniter libraries and projects
settings	developers	Settings Library for CodeIgniter 4
shield	developers	Authentication and Authorization Library for CodeIgniter 4
tasks	developers	Task Scheduler for CodeIgnter 4
cache	developers	PSR-6 and PSR-16 Cache Adapters for CodeIgniter 4

There are also several deployment repositories, referenced in the installation directions. The deployment repositories are built automatically when a new version is released, and they are not directly contributed to.

Repository	Audience	Description
framework	developers	Released versions of the framework
appstarter	developers	Starter project (app/public/writable). Dependent on “framework”
userguide	anyone	Pre-built user guide

In all the above, the latest version of a repository can be downloaded by selecting the “releases” link in the secondary navbar inside the “Code” tab of its GitHub repository page. The current (in development) version of each can be cloned or downloaded by selecting the “Clone or download” dropdown button on the right-hand side if the repository homepage.
