MediaWiki uses a continuous integration model. Code is first peer-reviewed: other developers provide feedback about your code, approve it or recommend improvements. Jenkins tests run too, to ensure your code doesn't break anything. When your change is ready, it's merged in the master branch of our code repository.
Follow this workflow. Push your code to Gerrit when you want to show it. Add your mentor as reviewer. Others will join the conversation on a regular basis. You'll learn a lot from the others reviewers' feedback.
And the greatest bonus? Your code will be merged on a continuous basis. You will directly be able to see your code live and in production. This is what we're calling the continuous integration.
