Gerrit



Gerrit/Code review is at the heart of our 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.

All Gerrit users can review contributions but only maintainers have special rights can merge or reject them.

Getting started
To simply browse & fork our code you can use the GitHub mirror.

To submit your first patch check the Tutorial or its shortest version.
