Bring a branch up to date with its merge target — merge it in with the conflicts committed as git left them, resolve them in a commit of their own, then push, so the resolution reviews on GitHub as an ordinary commit. Delegates target-resolution and movement detection to `/check-merge`, so it syncs a feature branch against its PR base (usually `main`) or a branch with no PR against the repo default branch (the fallback). Invoke as `/sync-branch [<branch>] [no vet]`. Use when the user says…

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

`/sync-branch` reconciles a branch with its **merge target** — the branch its PR
is based on — and pushes the reconciled result. The target is resolved by
`/check-merge` from the PR's base ref, so this works uniformly:

- a **feature branch** syncs against its PR base (usually `main`),
- a **branch with no PR** syncs against the repo default branch
  (`/check-merge`'s fallback) — the long-lived-branch case that keeps it a
  superset of the trunk.

Its main entry is mid-work: the target moved while the branch is still being
built and reviewed, and the operator wants it in before review goes on.
`@.claude/skills/finalize/SKILL.md` runs it too, for its base merge.

The skill merges **on the checked-out branch**, resolves conflicts mechanically
and logically in a commit after the merge commit, verifies locally, and pushes
proactively — the operator reviews the pushed resolution after the fact rather
than through a pre-push gate.

## Argument shape

```
/sync-branch [<branch>] [no vet]
```

- **`<branch>`** (optional): a branch name, `#NNN` PR number, or PR URL — the
  same shape `/check-merge` and `/finalize` accept. Passing it makes

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vzakharov/muthur/sync-branch@sha256:856a9c7dac5fceb9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.bb62c02, 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.
