Gerrit/Code review is at the heart of our software development process. Any software contribution to MediaWiki or any other Wikimedia hosted project must be reviewed and approved before being merged to our Git repositories. The tool we use to handle code reviews is Gerrit.

You can use the GitHub mirror to simply browse & fork our code.

Getting started
Wikimedia's Gerrit installation is located at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/. If you have developer access, you can participate in the review process, but only core developers can merge changes. Git/Workflow gives a full overview of the Git/Gerrit workflow.
