## What it is
The official Git mirror of the WordPress core development repository (synced from Subversion), containing the PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript source code of WordPress plus its Docker-based local development environment and test suite. Pull requests must link to a pre-existing ticket on WordPress core Trac.

## Use cases
- contribute a patch to WordPress core
- set up a local WordPress development environment with Docker
- run the WordPress core test suite
- fix a WordPress bug and open a pull request
- review WordPress core code
- build a feature plugin for potential core merge

## When to choose
- you want to contribute code, patches, or tests to WordPress core
- you need to reproduce or debug a WordPress core bug against trunk
- you are developing a feature plugin intended for core inclusion

## When to avoid
- you just want to install and run WordPress on a site - download a release from wordpress.org instead
- you are building a site with WordPress rather than developing WordPress itself
- you want to develop plugins or themes against a stable release rather than core trunk

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: stable
- function: web-framework, developer-tools, testing, ci-cd, plugin-system, templating
- domain: web-development, cms, self-hosted, developer-tools, documentation
