What is it?

Jetpack is a suite of WordPress plugin modules that aim to make WordPress sites safer and faster and help site owners grow traffic. This repository is the monorepo that contains the source code for the individual Jetpack plugins, the Composer and JavaScript packages those plugins depend on, and related tooling.

Developers working on Jetpack check out the monorepo, build the plugin, and link the built plugin folder into a local WordPress installation's plugins directory. The repository is not meant to be cloned directly into a WordPress plugins folder. For sites that only need the plugin, the project points users to pre-built sources instead.

The codebase is primarily PHP with JavaScript and React front-end code, and it is distributed under the GPL v2 (or later) license.
