Thread:Project:Support desk/Wiki revisions history -- SVN/Git/Hg?/reply

You mean the MediaWiki files, yes? Then yes, you can clone MW from git: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git

and pull the newest files again, if changed. BUT: This is the master, which isn't for production use, so i would say, that's better to download the latest stable snapshoot of MediaWiki. It's possible to checkout REL branches, but what you do when the branch changes (maybe from REL1_23 to REL1_24)?

Another possible solution is to checkout the branch to a temporary location (e.g. /var/wiki/template) and copy the files to your production (e.g. /var/www/wiki) after a new version.
