The initial setup process (probably outdated now) lookd like this:
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/core.git wiki-devel
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/core.git --branch REL1_34 wiki-devel
cd wiki-devel
cd wiki-devel
git submodule update --init
git submodule update --init

Checkout additional extensions we wish to enable. For ease of management, check them out into extensions-all and then symlink them from extensions/

mkdir extensions-all
for i in EXTENSIONS; do
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/$i extensions-all/$i --branch REL1_34;
(cd extensions && ln -s ../extensions-all/$i);

git pull
We update our MediaWiki instances by simply pulling from the remote git repo and then switching to a different stable branch:
git checkout -b REL1_xx remotes/origin/REL1_xx
git fetch
git branch -a | grep REL | sort -V
git checkout -b REL1_XX origin/REL1_XX
git submodule update --init
The skins also need to be updated from time to time (particularly after a major release). Instead of checking out hundreds od skins with the official process, we can update only the skins we have installed:
cd skins
for i in MonoBook Timeless Vector; do
(cd $i && git fetch && git checkout -b REL1_34 origin/REL1_34)
done
As of this writing, only Vector is enabled in LocalSettings.php, but it's always best to keep the skins in sync in case we want to test them.
The "extensions-all" directory contains a bunch of git repositories stitched together with 'git submodule'.

cd extensions-all
cd extensions-all
git submodule update
for ext in *; do (cd $ext && git fetch && git checkout -b REL1_XX origin/REL1_XX); done
You also need to update some dependencies using a PHP manager called 'composer':
composer update --no-dev
