Erases a repository's history and rebuilds it as a curated commit series over the same tree, with a backup, confirmation gates and a tree-hash proof. Use when asked to rewrite history as readable commits.

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 Rebuild

Discard a repository's published history and replay the same file tree as a sequence of commits that reads like the work was done in order: dependencies before the code that uses them, each module its own commit, tests and docs where the repo's own convention puts them, messages in the repo's own format, timestamps spaced instead of stamped to one second. The tree at the end is byte-for-byte what it was at the start — only the path to it is rewritten.

Why the ceremony: this is an irreversible, outward-facing rewrite of a shared remote, and it is strictly more dangerous than a plain squash. It destroys every commit *and* invents a new structure to replace them, so a mistake is not just lost history — it is a published history that misrepresents the work. Each gate below closes a specific way that goes wrong: pushing without write access, erasing a contributor's attribution, discovering at commit 14 that the commit-msg hook rejects the format, shipping a changelog full of features that were never split that way, or re-tagging a version that a package registry already froze.

## Core principle

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add khasky/awesome-agent-skills/awesome-git-history-rebuild@sha256:75d2672c0b9bc61b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.58ea4e8, 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.
