Download source code from Apple's website

Question

How do I download source code from Apple's website (http://opensource.apple.com/source/). In particular, I am interested in http://opensource.apple.com/source/Security/Security-55110/.

wget -r is downloading HTML files instead of source files. Thanks!

I am not sure if this helps, appending a `?txt` to the URL of any file seems to return the file in plain text. You might have to parse the HTML recursively to download files like this :(. I am surprised why isn't there a simple *Download tar.bz2* link anywhere! After all, opensource.apple.com does not seem to be entirely open :P — Gowtham, Apr 11 '12 at 16:48

I finally figured it out, sources can be conveniently downloaded from http://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/

This currently redirects to https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/. – Nerdy Bunz Dec 02 '22 at 00:37

It seems to be 2 different directories with open source projects: http://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/ and https://opensource.apple.com/source/. How do you download from the 2nd link? – derpoliuk May 13 '22 at 04:50
