All kernel sources for Ubuntu 18.04 bionic can be found at
The master branch contains the initial 4.15 kernel.
The hwe branch has the latest HWE kernel. It is 5.0 at the moment.
The hwe-edge has the next HWE 5.3 kernel.
There are some other branches that can also be checked out if needed.
You can get the latest HWE kernel by running:
git clone git://
cd ubuntu-bionic
git checkout hwe
That will get the current HWE bionic that is the 5.0.0-37 kernel now.
