Use when starting a branch, deciding how a change reaches the mainline, cleaning a branch's history before it lands, or choosing whether a repository needs more than one long-lived branch — in a repository of any language. Owns the one mainline releases are cut from, recording the branching and merge method and the branch-name pattern once per repository, the short-lived one-change branch, folding a fix to unlanded work into the commit it fixes, never rewriting history someone else may have…
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 — Branching How a change travels from a branch to the mainline, and what the history looks like when it arrives. This skill assumes no language, forge or team size, and it names no strategy as the right one: it states what holds under every strategy, binds the lightest one below, and says what a heavier one has to earn. **Precondition — who runs a version other than the latest.** Most rules hold for any repository. One depends on the answer: | Does anything… | If no, this does not apply | |---|---| | run, or depend on, a released version other than the latest | rule 8 — nothing needs a fix on an old line, so every fix ships as the next number | ## When to use vs. neighbours - What a commit's message says, its type, and where the convention has to hold under each merge method → `git-commit-message`. This skill picks the merge method; that one says what the choice obliges each message to be. - Working out the next version from the history and cutting the release commit and tag → `/release`. - What a version number promises, and the tag's own form → the ecosystem's versioning rules; for a …

How to install
mdr add wntic/pyhouse/git-branching@sha256:e546d6eace537f8dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.4a676ac, 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.
