kicad/kicad-source-mirror is a GitHub mirror repository that copies the KiCad development branch hosted on GitLab as-is. According to the repository description, it is updated every time there is a push to GitLab, and it neither accepts pull requests nor watches on the GitHub side. The latest release published in this repository is 10.0.7.
The original KiCad is an electronic design CAD tool for designing schematics and printed circuit boards (PCBs). It is a real CAD implementation for designing circuits and boards, including 3D viewing. The source contained in the mirror consists of CMake build configuration, common libraries, the project manager, schematic and PCB editors, a Gerber viewer, a 3D viewer, plugins, and development and testing tools. The repository language is C++ and the license is GPL-3.0. The README explains that the GitLab CI status of the latest commits for Linux and Windows can be checked. The repository was created on December 2, 2013 and has 3,057 stars.
That said, this repository is not the original where development takes place, but a place that follows it. The actual development and commits are on the GitLab side; build, policy, and source documents are provided in the Developer Documentation, and contribution guidance is provided in the wiki and the contribution guide. The momentum score in the research record comes out low at 2.5 out of 10. The changelog for the 10.0.7 release is not given, so there is no way to know what this release actually changed. This mirror is a suitable target for people who want to follow the KiCad development flow and read or build the source, not a place to start contributing on its own.
