Configure a Git repository with proper .gitignore, branch strategy, commit conventions, hooks, and remote setup. Covers initial setup and common patterns for R, Node.js, and Python projects. Use when initializing version control for a new project, adding a .gitignore for a specific language or framework, setting up branch protection and conventions, or configuring commit hooks.
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
# Configure Git Repository Set up a Git repository with appropriate configuration for the project type. ## When to Use - Initializing version control for a new project - Adding `.gitignore` for a specific language/framework - Setting up branch protection and conventions - Configuring commit hooks ## Inputs - **Required**: Project directory - **Required**: Project type (R package, Node.js, Python, general) - **Optional**: Remote repository URL - **Optional**: Branch strategy (trunk-based, Git Flow) - **Optional**: Commit message convention ## Procedure ### Step 1: Initialize Repository ```bash cd /path/to/project git init git branch -M main ``` **Got:** `.git/` directory created. Default branch is named `main`. **If fail:** If `git init` fails, ensure Git is installed (`git --version`). If the directory already has a `.git/`, the repository is already initialized — skip this step. ### Step 2: Create .gitignore **R Package**: ```gitignore # R artifacts .Rhistory .RData .Rproj.user/ *.Rproj # Environment (sensitive) .Renviron # renv library (machine-specific) renv/library/ renv/staging/ renv/cache/ # Build artifacts *.tar.gz src/*.o src/*.so src/*.dll …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/configure-git-repository@sha256:b98e23b0fe3de60fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
