branch-finish

To verify a git branch is ready for merge, run automated checks to ensure tests pass, diffs are clean, and no rogue files exist. This validates merge readiness and prevents partial merges or repository pollution before pushing or creating a pull request.

The best way to finalize a feature branch is enforcing a checklist that validates tests, status, and diffs. This ensures conventional commits are met and debug artifacts are absent, presenting options to push with a PR, merge locally, keep open, or discard safely.

Yes, you can enforce conventional commits before merging a branch by running a finalization protocol. This checks commit messages against conventions and verifies code cleanliness, ensuring the branch meets repository standards before merge or closure.

To safely discard a branch after failing code quality checks, select the discard option from the finalization workflow. This handles branch closure in an auditable manner after automated checks detect rogue files or failing tests.

You should run a branch finish checklist instead of merging directly to prevent partial merges and repository pollution. It enforces deterministic checks like test validation and clean diffs, ensuring code readiness before finalizing the workflow.
