# mwExtUpgrader
**A tool for batch upgrading MediaWiki extensions**
## Project Purpose
Many MediaWiki administrators update extensions one by one using the [ExtensionDistributor](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor), often without using Git. This can be time-consuming and cumbersome.
**`mwExtUpgrader` is designed for operators who prefer not to use Git for managing extensions, but want a simpler, more efficient way to batch upgrade their MediaWiki extensions.**
## Features
* Batch upgrades of MediaWiki extensions.
* Replaces old extension files with new versions in one streamlined process.
## How to Use
`mwExtUpgrader` is an interactive script.
### Using the Release Version
If you have downloaded the pre-built `.phar` release, simply run the following command:
```bash
php mwExtUpgrader.phar
```
### Using the Source Code
If you've downloaded the source code, you will need to have [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) installed to manage the dependencies. Once you have Composer, run the following commands:
```bash
composer install
php run.php
```
## Preparing a Release
To create a new release, use the `build.php` script. This script packages the project and its dependencies into a [PHAR archive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHAR_\(file_format\)), a single executable PHP file.
Once the `.phar` file is built, it can be executed like any standard PHP file.
```bash
php build.php
```
## Support
If you encounter any issues while using the script or have suggestions for improvements, please submit them via [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/RazeSoldier/mwExtUpgrader/issues).
