The source code of Jessie consists of many parts:

The Linux kernel : http://www.github.com/raspberrypi/linux
Most Packages : please refer to apt-get source command
Some modified packages : please refer to https://github.com/raspberrypi?tab=repositories
The source codes of some closed-source software are unavailable (e.g., Oracles JVM)

For further imformation, you may refer to this link.

what I want is to generate my own system image file，so can down my image to another hardware or share to other guys. but use "dd" command it will backup the whole file which is too large. so I cannot do this ? – Miles Franco Sep 20 '17 at 06:55
I have not found a whole image source code that exactly you want from the raspberry pi image [mirror site](http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/). I mean that the official source code of the **whole** Jessie is unavailable. You may raise an issue on GitHub or try to compile Rpi Kernel first, here is a [brief guide](http://elinux.org/Raspberry_Pi_Kernel_Compilation). – Yaoshicn Sep 20 '17 at 08:17
