hello, thanks a lot
for all your feedback.
So I have learned how to submit using "+2" (and I have updated successfully the repository)
I have also asked to change the repository 
from "Merge review" to "Open push" here
 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/New_repositories/Requests
 
I understand that with it I could directly push, although I don't think by now is
strictly necessary.
 
I have also reformatted the code which is now here
 
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/CIForms/+/3046f62eab32c3dfa0cacf3a11445c936d71451c
 
 
however, I have two issues:
 
1) when I use the command git clone "https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/CIForms"
it also downloads the .git folder, how can I avoid that or to cancel it from the remote folder ?
 
2) from this page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/CIForms
it does not download the updated repository, which is the purpose I aimed for: how can I fix/update it ?
 
thanks
(Thomas)

As a policy reason, we don't allow master/main of MediaWiki
extensions/skins to be open push because it prevents having a space to
discuss the pushed commit. Also, it bypasses any configured CI,
potentially leaving the repo in a broken state.

However, if you're the sole/primary developer of an extension/skin, it's
totally fine to just +2 your own change right after uploading it.
