[Wikitech-l] 🆕 Deploying MediaWiki at Wikimedia just got easier!

[Tyler Cipriani]

*tl;dr*: use `scap backport <gerrit url>` to deploy MediaWiki backports
____

There’s now a *single step* to deploy changes to Wikimedia’s production
MediaWiki.

🤯 An 85% reduction in command remembering!

On the deployment host run:

    scap backport <gerrit url>

This works for any change to a live branch for mediawiki/core, extensions,
skins, or operations/mediawiki-config.
