Consistent git practices, recovery patterns, and safe operations.
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.

## ⚠️ Staleness Warning
Git core is stable, but GitHub features (Actions, CLI, Copilot integration) evolve.
**Refresh triggers:**
- GitHub CLI major updates
- GitHub Actions runner changes
- New git features (e.g., `git switch`, `git restore`)
- GitHub Copilot CLI integration
**Last validated:** February 2026 (Git 2.45+, GitHub CLI 2.x)
**Check current state:** [Git Release Notes](https://git-scm.com/docs/git/RelNotes), [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/)

## Decision Table
| Scenario | Command | Notes |
|----------|---------|-------|
| Undo last commit, keep changes | `git reset --soft HEAD~1` | Safe, preserves work |
| Restore single file | `git checkout HEAD -- path/to/file` | Discards file changes |
| Restore entire folder | `git checkout HEAD -- .github/` | Discards folder changes |
| Before risky operation | `git add -A; git commit -m "checkpoint"` | Always checkpoint first |
| Discard all uncommitted | `git reset --hard HEAD` | Destructive, no recovery |
| Reset to remote state | `git reset --hard origin/main` | Destructive, syncs to remote |

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.80a7ab6, 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.
