The official website is https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/sys/ .

This is an unofficial clone, usually having the same content (no
guarantee, though): https://github.com/openbsd

These URIs are correct.

Alternatively, you can use anonymous CVS:

https://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html

OpenBSD does not support different kernel versions.
The only officially supported version of the kernel is GENERIC{,MP}.
All users are advised to run GENERIC or GENERIC.MP.

The various RAMDISK* kernel configs you will find in the above
directories are installation kernels and unfit for use in production.

Yours,
