  git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/core.git wiki-devel

The initial setup process (probably outdated now) lookd like this:
 +
 
 +
  git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/core.git --branch REL1_34 wiki-devel
 
  cd wiki-devel
 
  cd wiki-devel
git co -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
     −
For the full details on this installation method, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git

Checkout additional extensions we wish to enable. For ease of management, check them out into extensions-all and then symlink them from extensions/
   −
== Visual Editor ==
+
EXTENSIONS=CheckUser ContributionScores HTMLets LastUserLogin LdapAuthentication MobileFrontend TimedMediaHandler UniversalLanguageSelector UserMerge VisualEditor Widgets
   −
This wiki has the VisualEditor extension.
+
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);
 +
done
   −
In order to do that, we need the parsoid node js service.  Since Sunjammer is running too old of a version, this service is hosted on freedom.  It can be started using:
+
== Upgrading ==
container.yml start /home/sam/parsoid -d

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

=== Skins ===
 +
 +
As of this writing, the default skin vector is integrated into MediaWiki, and we don't load other skins in LocalSettings.php.
 +
 +
The skins also need to be updated from time to time (particularly after a major release). Instead of checking out hundreds od skins using the official process, we refresh only the skins that are installed:
 +
 +
cd skins
 +
for i in MonoBook Timeless; do
 +
  (cd $i && git fetch && git checkout -b REL1_34 origin/REL1_34)

done
