This skill automates the project-scoped Git operations required to close a feature branch safely within a chezmoi/agent-config workflow, reducing manual steps and error-prone handoffs.
Invoke the close-issue workflow to trigger the close-branch sequence for a reviewed feature branch.

To automate git branch cleanup and fast-forward merge, the skill rebases a worktree onto local main, performs a fast-forward merge, pushes, and deletes the feature branch locally and remotely. This enforces deterministic steps with pre-flight checks for safe cleanup.
The best way to close a feature branch after review in a monorepo-like environment is to trigger an automated close-issue workflow that absorbs unpushed commits via rebase, fast-forward merges into main, and safely deletes local and remote branches.
Yes, you can use this workflow to rebase a worktree onto local main, push the fast-forward merge, and delete the remote branch, provided pre-flight checks pass and remote deletion is appropriate for the current state.
Yes, this branch closing workflow preserves linear history by performing a fast-forward merge into main after rebasing, ensuring no merge commits are introduced while absorbing unpushed commits from the feature branch.
You should not use an automated rebase and branch deletion workflow if pre-flight checks fail, if remote branch deletion is inappropriate, or if your environment lacks local main tracking and worktrees required for deterministic git operations.
Pre-flight checks needed before automating local branch deletion verify that the worktree can rebase onto local main cleanly and that the branch is fully merged via fast-forward, ensuring safe detachment of HEAD and branch removal without losing work.
