#Linux kernel

Elixir is a Python-based tool for efficient indexing of C and C++ project releases, such as the Linux kernel. It uses Git for source code storage and Berkeley DB for cross-reference data, ensuring minimal system impact. A straightforward architecture enables rapid query responses, and a REST API enhances functionality. Installation requires Python 3.8+, Git 1.9+, and specified libraries. The modular design supports easy indexing and project updates, with Docker image support enhancing development efficiency.

Discover essential kernel documentation available in formats like HTML and PDF. Users can explore guides in the Documentation folder for vital building and running instructions. Visit the online docs regularly for up-to-date information, and begin with the admin-guide and changes doc to manage kernels successfully and mitigate upgrade challenges.
