Use when a CI pipeline failed on something unrelated to the code and the PR is blocked — pushes an empty commit to re-trigger CI on the current branch.
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
# Empty Commit
Empty commit + push → CI re-runs on the current branch. Zero file changes, so nothing can regress.
Any step fails → stop, report what failed; do not work around.
1. Nothing staged: `git diff --cached --quiet`. Non-zero → `--allow-empty` would commit the staged files; list them (`git diff --cached --name-only`), stop.
2. Branch: `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`. `HEAD` (detached), `main`, or `master` → stop; empty commit on a shared branch is noise.
3. Upstream: `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name @{u}`. Fails → no upstream set; stop, ask user which case: never pushed → `git push -u origin <branch>` alone triggers CI; already pushed without `-u` → `git branch -u <remote>/<branch>`, re-run (re-pushing the same commit triggers nothing).
4. Commit, subject only, no trailer of any kind:
```bash
git commit --allow-empty -m "chore: trigger pipeline re-run"
```
5. `git push`. Fails → commit exists locally, not pushed; say so.
6. Report one line: short SHA, branch, PR link if push output printed one.
Unstaged and untracked files are ignored, they stay untouched.

How to install
mdr add mithunwijayasiri/dotclaude/empty-commit@sha256:f472dd6d3279d8a9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.04bbb86, 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.
