Here's what I do. I have a git clone of the current Kiwi disto on my Mac. I edit there and compile to get the compilation bugs out. The main Makefile detects when you're not compiling on the Kiwi and allows different compile tools/flags to be used that are particular to your development machine.

Then on the target Kiwi I use NFS to mount the Mac sources read-only onto /root/Beagle_SDR_GPS. So I can just ssh into the Kiwi and build/test there without having to be copying all the source files all the time. unix_env/bashrc (that gets installed as /root/.bashrc on the Kiwi) has some hints about setting up NFS on the Kiwi and your development machine (I don't know about Windows though). Because the mount is read-only if the update process is unintentionally started on the Kiwi it won't reverse-write the sources on the Mac and destroy my work-in-progress (super important obviously).

The various Makefiles have manual targets for copying the Verilog source files to whatever environment Xilinx Vivado happens to be running. In my case I run it on Ubuntu on a VirtualBox VM on my Mac. It works surprisingly well despite all the emulation layers (about 10 minutes to build the FPGA image on a three-year-old MacBook Pro).

Be careful making changes to /root/.bashrc New Kiwi releases will overwrite that file (and .profile) if there have been changes made in the release (e.g. I have added some new command alias). Put your changes in /root/.bashrc.local The Kiwi will create this file with some defaults if it's never existed before but then leave it alone forever after that.

The git clone seems to be trashed. Assuming there isn't more general filesystem corruption, try setting the clone aside and building from a new one:
Login as root to the /root home directory.
Do a "df" and make sure you have at least 300 MB free on your filesystem.

"cdp; mst; cd" (stop if currently running; go back to root dir)
"mv Beagle_SDR_GPS Beagle_SDR_GPS.bad"
"gclone Beagle_SDR_GPS" (this is an alias for "git clone https://github.com/jks-prv/Beagle_SDR_GPS.git")
"cdp" (cd project)
"mi" (make install)
"ku" (kiwi up)
wait a bit
"ms" (check status)
