The initial setup process (probably outdated now) lookd like this: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 checkout -b REL1_19 remotes/origin/REL1_19
  −
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions.git extensions-all
  −
cd extensions-all
   
  git submodule update --init
 
  git submodule update --init
cd ../extensions

# for each needed extensions

ln -s ../extensions-all/EXT

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

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'.

You also need to update some dependencies using a PHP manager called 'composer':

composer update --no-dev
