Master advanced Git workflows including rebasing, cherry-picking, bisect, worktrees, and reflog to maintain clean history and recover from any situation. Use when managing complex Git histories, collaborating on feature branches, or troubleshooting repository issues.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Git Advanced Workflows Master advanced Git techniques to maintain clean history, collaborate effectively, and recover from any situation with confidence. ## When to Use This Skill - Cleaning up commit history before merging - Applying specific commits across branches - Finding commits that introduced bugs - Working on multiple features simultaneously - Recovering from Git mistakes or lost commits - Managing complex branch workflows - Preparing clean PRs for review - Synchronizing diverged branches ## Core Concepts ### 1. Interactive Rebase Interactive rebase is the Swiss Army knife of Git history editing. **Common Operations:** - `pick`: Keep commit as-is - `reword`: Change commit message - `edit`: Amend commit content - `squash`: Combine with previous commit - `fixup`: Like squash but discard message - `drop`: Remove commit entirely **Basic Usage:** ```bash # Rebase last 5 commits git rebase -i HEAD~5 # Rebase all commits on current branch git rebase -i $(git merge-base HEAD main) # Rebase onto specific commit git rebase -i abc123 ``` ### 2. Cherry-Picking Apply specific commits from one branch to another without merging entire branches. ```bash …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/git-advanced-workflows@sha256:8b912fe7d2ff010fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.044b4b2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
