FAQPage Schema
How do I finalize a git feature branch after tests pass?▼

Finalizing a git feature branch involves validating tests, detecting the base branch, choosing an integration path like merge or pull request, and cleaning up the branch afterwards.

What is the best way to clean up git worktrees after merging a branch?▼

Cleaning up git worktrees after merging is handled by post-action cleanup, which removes obsolete worktrees and branches automatically once the integration decision is completed.

How do I decide between a local merge and a pull request for my branch?▼

Choosing between a local merge and a pull request is structured by presenting four explicit options: merge locally, push and create a PR, keep the branch, or discard the work entirely.

Can I automatically detect the base branch for a git merge?▼

Yes, base-branch determination automatically finds the appropriate base branch, such as main or master, ensuring your git merge operations target the correct integration branch.

Does this branch finalization workflow require external dependencies?▼

No, this branch finalization workflow requires no external dependencies, operating entirely within your existing git environment to validate tests and manage cleanup decisions.
