Git

Instead of using Subversion for developing MediaWiki, we're now using Git. See "Wikimedia engineering moving from Subversion to Git" for a summary and see Git conversion for details.

If you had a Subversion account, you probably have a Git account - try to log in, and if you have trouble, speak up in.

Is MediaWiki migrating to Git?
Yes; see our plan for Git conversion for February and March 2012. There are some outstanding Git migration issues as to how to lay out the repositories and what effect it will have on some automated and semi-automated workflows.


 * Workflow - The workflow for core and for any extensions or other tools that choose to use git, gerrit, git-review, etc.
 * Git/Tips - Tips for working with Git
 * Gerrit - Gerrit how-to's and tutorials
 * Conversion - The schedule for our Subversion-to-Git migration
 * Issues - Outstanding Git conversion issues

The core has been migrated and can be cloned with one of these commands: git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/core.git git clone ssh://@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/mediawiki/core.git
