Repositories
The Wikipedia iOS app code is hosted on both GitHub and Gerrit.

GitHub
This is the main repository, where iOS developers at the Foundation operate and release public betas via TestFlight. Pull requests via GitHub are the preferred contribution method, since the GitHub repository is also integrated into Travis CI.

Gerrit
We also host the repository on Gerrit, which is synced with the master (on GitHub) after every public release.
