Initialize git in the workspace and connect a GitHub remote. Use for /git-setup when starting orchestration or when the user asks to set up version control.
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 & GitHub setup ## When to use - User invokes `/git-setup` or asks to initialize git / connect GitHub - Orchestrator board preflight requested git setup for a non-repo workspace (init only — no remote) - Orchestrator board preflight requested GitHub remote setup for a repo without `origin` ## Steps 1. **Detect state** — run `execute_command` with `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` (or `git_status`). If already inside a git repo, skip `git init` and report the current branch and remotes. 2. **Initialize** — when not a repo, run `git init` in the workspace root. 3. **Baseline ignore** — if `.gitignore` does not exist, create one with sensible defaults (`node_modules/`, `.env`, `.env.*`, `dist/`, `build/`, OS junk like `.DS_Store` and `Thumbs.db`). Do **not** overwrite an existing `.gitignore`. Minnow also runs this step programmatically when `/git-setup` starts (before tools run) so fresh repos always get a baseline ignore even if this step is skipped in chat. Orchestrator board onboarding runs init, `.gitignore`, and the initial commit **programmatically** after the dedicated git prompt — do not redo that work if the folder is already a repo. …

How to install
mdr add henrigrimm/minnow/git-setup@sha256:fa2769da0c42f5bcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260817.363d35b, 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.
