Add and test a MediaWiki extension

mw dev mediawiki get-code [flags]

Can be used to retrieve code easily from Gerrit.

You can persist some configurable settings in the config.

mw config get gerrit.username
mw config set gerrit.username foo

New Gerrit clones receive Wikimedia Gerrit’s official commit-msg hook, including when cloning from a GitHub mirror before switching the remote to Gerrit. This adds Change-Id trailers when you commit. Existing hooks and any configured core.hooksPath are preserved.

Use --jobs 4 (or -j 4) to clone up to four independent skins/extensions at a time. Core is always cloned first. The default is one job.
