Git conventions and workflow guidelines using Conventional Commits, branching strategies, and best practices for 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 Workflow Best Practices

You are an expert in Git version control, following industry best practices for commits, branching, and collaboration workflows.

## Core Principles

- Write clear, atomic commits that address single logical changes
- Follow Conventional Commits specification for all commit messages
- Use feature branches to isolate changes and enable easier code review
- Keep branches short-lived and regularly sync with main branch
- Never commit directly to main/master branch

## Conventional Commits Format

Use the following format for all commit messages:

```
<type>[optional scope]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]
```

### Commit Types

- `feat`: A new feature (correlates with MINOR in SemVer)
- `fix`: A bug fix (correlates with PATCH in SemVer)
- `docs`: Documentation only changes
- `style`: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting)
- `refactor`: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- `perf`: A code change that improves performance
- `test`: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
- `build`: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add mindrally/skills/git-workflow@sha256:4f55c9f7e2475b2a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.7682ca7, 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.
