What Hacker News says

5 sources
The threads found on this are disappointing as well ([1] and [2]). The author(s), as far as I can tell, only make the source available for each release. They do not want a public repository and are very resistant when others ask. They do make the source available with each release, and a user has mirrored them onto GitHub [3]. I also cannot find the source for older releases. [1] https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329220/thread/0... [2] https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329220/thread/b... [3] https://github.com/dlech/KeePass2.x
In KeePassXC 2.3.0 released
Or maybe KeePass is redundant with KeePassX available. The KeePass model of development is not very appealing to contributors or anyone who might want to review the code for security. KeePass has no official public repository and only has a dump of the source code for each version the author releases. (Although some people have turned them into repos, the lack of proper commit logs means it's not very easy to see exactly what is being changed[1]) On the other hand, KeePassX is developed in the open like most open source software. I think I'd rather trust that people are reviewing the code here. [1]:https://github.com/dlech/keepass2/commit/6c87c0a9c8e34558de9...
In KeePassX 2.0 Alpha 5 released
