Download from Git/el


 * Since MediaWiki 1.19beta2, 1.18.2, 1.17.3, MediaWiki core and extensions use Git for version control. For older versions, see Subversion

Git is distributed version control software that allows users to download the very latest version of a branch, without having to wait for someone to get around to packaging it. MediaWiki will release faster, and it'll be easier for you to update your installation, roll back an upgrade, or submit patches. (Of course always remember official stable releases are less risky.)

See Git for more details, particularly for making contributions. Below are some quick directions for a couple common tasks.

Προαπαιτούμενα
Πρέπει να έχετε το Git εγκατεστημένο πριν το χρησιμοποιήσετε. Υπάρχουν πολλοί τρόποι να αποκτήσετε το Git, ανάλογα με το λειτουργικό σας σύστημα. Για τον πηγαίο κώδικα και τα επίσημα εκτελέσιμα, δείτε στο git-scm.com. Για εναλλακτικούς τρόπους να εγκαταστήσετε το Git, χρησιμοποιήστε την αγαπημένη σας μηχανή αναζήτησης για να βρείτε οδηγίες για το λειτουργικό σας σύστημα.

Συνίσταται να έχετε εγκατεστημένο το composer για να κατεβάσετε και να εγκαταστήσετε βιβλιοθήκες τρίτων, αλλά δεν απαιτείται.

Χρησιμοποιώντας το Git για να κατεβάστε το Mediawiki

Λήψη
Μπορείτε να κατεβάσετε τον πυρήνα του Mediawiki χρησιμοποιώντας το Git, όπως και όλες τις επεκτάσεις που στην τρέχουσα φάση είναι εγκατεστημένες στη συστοιχία των διακομιστών στο Ίδρυμα Wikimedia και πολλές άλλες επεκτάσεις που φιλοξενούνται στο.

The first step is to clone the MediaWiki core repository. This will take a while.

In a terminal window, enter the following command:

This clones the entire MediaWiki core repository, initially pointed at release branch, into a sub-directory named.

To install into different directory, change that in the command line (for more info refer to these docs). Once the repository is cloned, you can easily switch to different branches or tags (see below), including those tracking unstable versions of MediaWiki. The development branch,, is the cutting-edge, developer version of MediaWiki; you should not use master code for production under any circumstances as it is not considered stable.

If you want to reduce the number of revisions that are cloned, add  to the above command.

That the release branches have a bunch of Git submodules in them, for commonly-used extensions and skins (the master branch does not have these). To update the submodules, run:

If you have Developer access (which is easy to request), then instead of cloning anonymously with https you should clone with your ssh  so that you can submit changes for review:



Fetch external libraries
Starting with MediaWiki 1.25, some external libraries that MediaWiki requires are no longer in this "core" git repository.

We use composer to manage them. To install these needed libraries, you have a choice:


 * Download and install composer, switch to your core directory and then run  . Note that if you have an existing  file you will need to run   instead.


 * If you don't want to use composer, or if you want to use the same set of vendor libraries as used on the WMF production cluster, you can instead  to create a   directory inside the core folder of your MediaWiki installation.

MediaWiki tags (stable version)
Alternatively, specific stable versions of MediaWiki are tracked using 'tags'. These are analogous to the tarball releases. You can see the versions available with:

Using non GNU sort command, such as on Mac OS X, you have to rely on the good old separators:

To use a specific tag:

Latest development version of MediaWiki
The latest development version of MediaWiki is tracked in the 'master' branch. This is what is locally checked out by default when you first clone the MediaWiki repository. If you have switched to another branch but would like to switch back to using bleeding-edge MediaWiki, do:

Διατηρώντας το ενημερωμένο
If you're using a particular branch or the development version ("master" branch) of MediaWiki, picking up the latest changes is relatively easy. Change into your MediaWiki clone directory and issue the  command:

All of the latest changes for the branch you are using will be applied.

The new version of core may require newer versions of extensions and skins, so you must go into each extension and skin directory and update it with a command like.

After updating/upgrading you should run the MediaWiki  command-line script to update database tables as needed:

You also need to update  to any newer versions of required libraries, see.

If you use MediaWiki-Vagrant, it offers a single command,, that performs all these steps.

Switching to a different version
Switching to a different version of MediaWiki is far simpler with Git than with SVN. Each of our versions are tracked as branches or tags. In order to switch to one of these, all you have to do is checkout the particular branch or tag you want from within your MediaWiki clone directory:

The changes will be applied automatically and you will be all set to go.

Using Git to download MediaWiki extensions

 * List of extensions in git

Download an extension

 *  should be replaced with the name of the extension you want to download, without spaces. For Extension:TitleKey, it would be TitleKey. (case sensitive!)

Download and clone an extension from Git:

Developers clone with:

You can view extension source code in Gerrit's gitiles application, and at the URL:

 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions//+/refs/heads/master

Download all extensions
If you prefer to have all MediaWiki extensions that are at gerrit.wikimedia.org checked out to your machine, enter the following:

Thereafter, to update all extensions to their latest versions of that branch, just enter:

To change to a different branch, such as after a new release:

Remember that you should only use versions of extensions from the same release as that version of MediaWiki and each other.

To track the master branch:

Please note that you should not use master code for production under any circumstances as it is not considered stable.

If you only need a read-only checkout (for instance to grep or analyse all MediaWiki code), you can use the shared MediaWiki checkout on Labs, without downloading anything on your machines.

Remove an extension
Just remove the extension folder and remove the " " or " " from.

Using Git to download MediaWiki skins

 * List of skins in git

MediaWiki 1.24 and later don't include skins in the Git download.

Follow the exact same procedure as for extensions (described in the previous section), but using  rather than   in all URLs and paths.

Detailed installation instructions are available on each skin's page here on MediaWiki.org, for example see Skin:Vector#Installation. Instructions for all other skins are analogous.
