Version control & collaboration hygiene — atomic commits (one logical change), commit-message quality (imperative subject, body explains why), branching strategy (feature-branch vs trunk-based), rebase vs merge trade-offs. Auto-load when discussing commit hygiene, writing commit messages, choosing a branching strategy, debating rebase vs merge, deciding when to squash, or reviewing PR description quality.
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
<!-- preload-canary: SWB-PRELOAD-PRINCIPLE-VERSION-CONTROL --> # Version Control & Collaboration `git log` is a debugging instrument. Its quality depends entirely on the discipline of the people who wrote to it. ## Atomic commits — one logical change One commit, one reason to revert it. The test: can you describe the change in a short subject line without using "and"? - Atomic commits make `git bisect` effective — a failing test traces to the exact change that introduced it. - Atomic commits make reverts safe — reverting "add feature X" does not also undo "fix unrelated bug Y". - Split a large change by concern: refactor first (pure mechanical moves), then behavior change, then test additions. ## Commit messages — what makes them load-bearing Subject line: imperative mood, ≤50 characters, no trailing period. Body: wrap at 72 characters, explain *why*, not *what*. ``` [type] Short imperative subject (≤50 chars) Why this change was made. What would break if reverted. Link the issue or ticket. Note non-obvious constraints. ``` …

How to install
mdr add lugassawan/swe-workbench/principle-version-control@sha256:bb9b1cfe118bf98bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.71a6399, 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.
