Manage branches, commits, conflicts, semantic versions, and changelogs when preparing Git changes or releases.
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 and Versioning
## Overview
Git is your safety net. Treat commits as save points, branches as sandboxes, and history as documentation. With AI agents generating code at high speed, disciplined version control is the mechanism that keeps changes manageable, reviewable, and reversible.
## When to Use
Always. Every code change flows through git.
## Core Principles
### Trunk-Based Development (Recommended)
Keep `main` always deployable. Work in short-lived feature branches that merge back within 1-3 days. Long-lived development branches are hidden costs — they diverge, create merge conflicts, and delay integration. DORA research consistently shows trunk-based development correlates with high-performing engineering teams.
```
main ──●──●──●──●──●──●──●──●──●── (always deployable)
╲ ╱ ╲ ╱
●──●─╱ ●──╱ ← short-lived feature branches (1-3 days)
```
This is the recommended default. Teams using gitflow or long-lived branches can adapt the principles (atomic commits, small changes, descriptive messages) to their branching model — the commit discipline matters more than the specific branching strategy.

How to install
mdr add seaworld008/commonly-used-high-value-skills/git-workflow-and-versioning@sha256:3d0d7619102e4926The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.3, 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.
