To participate, you'll need to:

* get developer access for Git/Gerrit/Wikimedia Labs
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_access
* install a SIP client ("Blink and CSipSimple for Android are
recommended and tested (with HD audio); I'll provide SIP dial-in")
* install vncviewer
* ensure you can ssh from a terminal

Marcin will cover:

Basics:

   setting up Git
   submitting a patch
   commenting on a patch in Gerrit
   merging a patch in Gerrit
   enough Git internals not to get lost

Branching:

   local branch, making, working & pushing
   remote branch & git-review to that remote branch

Troubleshooting:

   cherrypick changes between branches
   amending (rebase vs multiple commit)
   squashing work from a branch into a commit and pushing it
   resolve merge conflicts

Thanks, Marcin!
