Git commit standards, branch strategy, and LLM-assisted development workflows. Use when making commits, managing branches, or working in high-velocity LLM-assisted development contexts. Covers atomic commits, conventional commits, branching strategies (trunk-based, GitHub flow), merge vs rebase decisions, and recovery patterns.
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 Version Control <skill_scope skill="git-version-control"> **Related skills:** - `software-engineer` — Design principles that inform commit granularity - `test-driven-development` — Test-commit cycles and when to commit during TDD This skill covers Git commit standards, branch strategy, and LLM-assisted development workflows. It emphasizes atomic commits, meaningful commit messages, and high-frequency integration. </skill_scope> ## Core Philosophy <core_philosophy> **"Commit Often, Perfect Later, Publish Once"** — Seth Robertson[^robertson] **Integration frequency is the most powerful determinant of branching success.** State of DevOps research found that elite teams integrate notably more often than low performers, and continuous-integration practitioners typically integrate many times a day. "If it hurts, do it more often." — Martin Fowler[^fowler] **Revertability principle**: Commits should represent meaningful units of work that could be reverted independently without breaking the system. </core_philosophy> ## Commit Practices <atomic_commits> **Atomic commit decision:** If you can describe what you did in a short sentence and it makes sense, commit. …

How to install
mdr add pyroxin/opinionated-claude-skills/git-version-control@sha256:c3f9705604d3d873The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.cdf5f7b, 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.
