It is recommended to use nvm to use the version of node defined
in .nvmrc during local development. This ensures consistency amongst development environments.
We strive for compliance with MediaWiki conventions:

useskinversion: Likeuseskinbut for overriding the Vector skin version user preference and configuration. E.g., http://localhost:8181?useskin=vector&useskinversion=2.
Vector defines skin-specific user preferences. These are exposed on
Special:Preferences when the VectorShowSkinPreferences configuration is
enabled. The user's preference state for skin preferences is used for skin
previews and any other operation unless specified otherwise.
Vector defines a "version" preference to enable users who prefer the December
2019 version of Vector to continue to do so without any visible changes. This
version is called "Legacy Vector." The related preference defaults are
configurable via the configurations prefixed with VectorDefaultSkinVersion.
Version preference and configuration may be overridden by the useskinversion
URL query parameter.
A pre-commit hook is installed when executing npm install. By default, it runs
npm test which is useful for automatically validating everything that can be
in a reasonable amount of time. If you wish to defer these tests to be executed
by continuous integration only, set the PRE_COMMIT environment variable to 0:
$ export PRE_COMMIT=0
$ git commitOr more succinctly:
$ PRE_COMMIT=0 git commitSkipping the pre-commit tests has no impact on Gerrit change identifier hooks.
