Thread:Talk:Download from Git/Using Git to download MediaWiki skins

If you want to download all skins for development, one might be tempted to: git clone ssh://purodha@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/mediawiki/skins.git cd skins git review -s git submodule update --init --recursive That creates a set of files but they cannot be used to submit amendments. If you try: cd        git review -s you get: Problems encountered installing commit-msg hook /.../ /.git/hooks/commit-msg: Not a directory protocol error: expected control record and attempts to use: git review ... so as to submit patches yields similar error messages.

Please document a correct working way to solve the problem.
