Collapse many WIP / fix-to-fix commits on a feature branch into a small set of topic-focused commits. Reads the original commit messages first so intent is preserved, soft-resets to origin/main so intermediate / overwritten changes drop out automatically, then re-commits the accumulated diff one logical topic at a time. Use before opening a PR or merging when `git log origin/main..HEAD` looks noisy.
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 history cleanup Collapse `origin/main..HEAD` into a small number of topic-focused commits without losing intent. Changes that were introduced in one commit and rewritten or undone by a later commit drop out automatically -- they are not in the final diff. The original commit messages are read first so the new topic split preserves the *why* of the work. The previous tip of the branch is kept by `git reflog` (default 90 days), so the operation is non-destructive locally. Nothing is pushed. ## Step 0 -- working copy must be clean ```sh git status --porcelain ``` If the output is non-empty, STOP. Tell the user to commit, stash, or discard their pending edits first. A dirty tree would mix uncommitted work into the collapse and there is no clean way to un-mix afterwards. Do not improvise an auto-stash; the user may not want those edits in the regrouped history. ## Step 1 -- agent context must be clean This task reads every commit message between `origin/main` and `HEAD`, plus the full accumulated diff, plus the per-file change set. That is heavy and benefits from a fresh context window so nothing important gets truncated mid-analysis. Self-assess: …

How to install
mdr add barbieri/local-openfinance/git-history-cleanup@sha256:99e64a7da22db9deThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.32edae5, 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.
