FAQPage Schema
How do I finish a development branch and merge it into the main version control workflow?▼

Finishing a development branch involves selecting a merge, pull request, or discard option. The process ensures tests pass before integration and provides structured steps for post-merge worktree cleanup.

What is the best way to manage feature development cleanup after integration?▼

The best way to manage feature development cleanup is to use a structured workflow that automatically cleans up the worktree after merging or discarding a branch, ensuring the version control system remains organized.

Can I create a pull request directly when completing a feature branch?▼

Yes, creating a pull request is a built-in option when completing a feature branch. You can choose this path to initiate integration instead of performing a local merge or discarding the branch.

Do I need to run tests before merging a development branch?▼

Yes, you need to run tests before merging a development branch. The workflow ensures that tests pass before allowing the integration process to proceed, preventing broken code from entering the main branch.

What should I do if I want to discard a feature branch instead of merging it?▼

To discard a feature branch, you select the discard option within the workflow. The system will safely remove the worktree and clean up the version control environment without merging any changes.
