Essential Git commands and workflows for version control, branching, and collaboration.

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 Essentials

## Overview

`git-essentials` is the **NeuroClaw base skill** for all version control operations. It provides the essential Git commands for initializing repositories, staging, committing, branching, merging, working with remotes, viewing history, undoing changes, stashing, rebasing, tagging, and common daily workflows.

This skill serves as the foundation for any project that requires reproducible code management, experiment tracking, or collaboration inside NeuroClaw.

**Research use only** — always combine with `git-workflows` for advanced operations.

## Initial Setup
```bash
# Configure user
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your@email.com"

# Initialize repository
git init

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git
git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git custom-name
```

## Basic Workflow

### Staging and committing
```bash
# Check status
git status

# Add files to staging
git add file.txt
git add .
git add -A   # All changes including deletions

# Commit changes
git commit -m "Commit message"

# Add and commit in one step
git commit -am "Message"

# Amend last commit
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cuhk-aim-group/neurodiscovery/git-essentials@sha256:331a2724d1e0a8de

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260506.86420c0, 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.
