Template:Github/doc

This template provides an alternative to {{git file}} for linking to source code.

This uses the GitHub mirror instead of Diffusion the Gitblit server at git.wikimedia.org (WMF is deprecating gitblit and git.wikimedia.org in 2015). Editors may find GitHub's interface more user-friendly, faster responding, visually appealing, or otherwise preferable. Compare:

• diffusion link ← {{git file|file=index.php|text=diffusion link|line=39|branch=REL1_25}}
• github link ← {{github|index.php|github link|line=39|branch=REL1_25}}

Usage

Basic

 {{github |file=composer.json }}
 {{github |repo=mediawiki-extensions-Flow |file=composer.json }}

produces:

composer.json

composer.json

Action

{{github |repo=mediawiki-extensions-EventLogging 
 |file=server/bin/eventlogging-devserver
 |text=development server | action=raw }}

produces:

development server

Line number

{{github |file=tests/phpunit/includes/MessageTest.php |line=152 }}

produces:

tests/phpunit/includes/MessageTest.php

A convenient way of linking to source code.
