 * Dende MediaWiki 1.19beta2, 1.18.2, 1.17.3, el noyu y les estensiones de MediaWiki usen Git pal control de versiones. Pa versiones más antigües, mira en Subversion

Git ye un programa de control de versiones distribuíu que permite a los usuarios descargase la ultimísima versión d'una rama ensin tener qu'esperar por dalguién que pase a empaquetala. MediaWiki lliberaráse más rápido, y sedrá más fácil anovar una instalación, desfacer un anovamientu, o unviar parches. (Por supuesto, recuerda que siempre les versiones estables oficiales son menos arriesgaes.)

Mira Git pa mayores detalles; en particular, pa collaborar. Más abaxo hai delles instrucciones rápides pa un par de xeres comúnes.

Descargar
Actualmente puedes descargar el noyu de MediaWiki (phase3 en SVN) usando Git, igual que cualquier estensión instalada actualmente nel cluster de sirvidores de la Fundación Wikimedia. Pa xunetu de 2013, toles estensiones tarán disponibles usando Git o bien movíes a sirvidores de control de versión alternativos.

El primer pasu ye clonar el repositoriu de MediaWiki. Esto pue llevar un ratu.

Escribi lo siguiente na llinia de comandos: git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/core.git

En casu que veas "The requested URL returned error: 403" o "error: The requested URL returned error: 403 while accessing https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/core.git" necesites comprobar la versión del cliente git git --version y anovalu polo menos a git 1.7, les versiones 1:1.7.2.3-2.2~bpo50+1, 1.7.9.2 y 1.7.9.6 sábese que funcionen.

This clones the entire MediaWiki core repository. The default 'branch' will be the cutting-edge, developer version of MediaWiki. Once the repository is cloned, you can easily switch to different branches or tags (see below), including those tracking stable versions of MediaWiki.

If you have Developer access (which is easy to request): git clone ssh:// @gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/mediawiki/core.git



Fetch external libraries
Starting with MediaWiki 1.25, there are some external libraries that are now required, and no longer in our git repository. We use composer to manage them. There are two recommended methods of how to install them:


 * Download and install composer, and then run
 * Or  to create a   directory in your main mediawiki folder.

WMF branches
Remote branches are used to track the MediaWiki versions used on the Wikimedia Foundation server cluster. The latest may not be entirely stable, but they receive very quick bug fixes and are generally stable enough - after all, these are what major projects such as Wikipedia are using. Once a REL* branch is considered 'stable', we 'tag' it and turn it into a tarball release.

To see what branches are available, you switch into your MediaWiki clone and issue the following command: git branch -r | sort -V Major releases are denoted by "origin/REL ", e.g. "origin/". To switch to a particular release branch: git checkout -b REL origin/REL For example, to switch to the current stable version,, enter: git checkout -b origin/

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: git tag -l | sort -V Using non GNU sort command, such as on Mac OS X, you have to rely on the good old separators: git tag -l | sort -n -t. -k1 -k2 -k3

To use a specific tag: git checkout

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: git checkout master

Keeping up to date
If you're using a particular branch or the development version of MediaWiki, picking up the latest changes is really easy. Change into your MediaWiki clone directory and issue the pull command: git pull All of the latest changes for the branch you are using will be applied.

Also, after updating/upgrading you should run the MediaWiki Update script from the command line: php maintenance/update.php

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: git checkout o git checkout The changes will be applied automatically and you will be all set to go.

Download

 * List of extensions in git
 *  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:

cd /path/to/extensions git clone https: //gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions/.git

Developers clone with: git clone ssh:// @gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/mediawiki/extensions/.git Source code can be inspected with:

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions/.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/master;hb=master

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

git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions.git cd extensions git submodule update --init --recursive

To update the extensions to their latest versions, just do this:

cd /path/to/extensions git pull git submodule update --init --recursive

To track a specific branch: git submodule foreach 'git checkout -b REL1_23 origin/REL1_23 || :'

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

Download
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/skins/Vector.git

Switch to the skins folder, that was just cloned. To get all the skins use:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Add a  line to your  file corresponding to the skin:
 * (This is identical to extension installation, only in a different directory.)
 * (This is identical to extension installation, only in a different directory.)

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.
