Erases a repository's entire history into one fresh commit and force-pushes, after access checks, a mirror backup, a secret scan and a confirmation gate. Use when asked to wipe history.

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 Reset

Collapse a repository's entire history into one fresh `Initial commit` and force-push it, so the published commit log starts clean. The file tree is preserved byte-for-byte; only the history leading to it is discarded.

Why the ceremony: this is an irreversible, outward-facing rewrite of a shared remote. Once you force-push, every old commit on the default branch is gone from the tip, open pull requests break, and anyone who cloned or forked keeps the old history anyway. The steps below are not bureaucracy — each one closes a specific way this goes wrong: pushing without write access, discovering too late that the branch was protected, losing content in the squash, or force-pushing over a teammate's commit you never saw.

## Core principle

NOTHING IRREVERSIBLE UNTIL FOUR THINGS HOLD: write access is confirmed, a mirror backup exists and is verified, the history is scanned for secrets, and the user has explicitly confirmed the wipe. If any one is missing, stop at that gate.

Four invariants hold throughout:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add khasky/awesome-agent-skills/awesome-git-history-reset@sha256:bcdf4869ac5f00ba

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.a19c2a5, 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.
