Yes, you can choose between merging locally, creating a Pull Request for code review, or deferring integration when finishing a branch. These structured options are presented after mandatory test verification succeeds.

Test verification is mandatory before any code integration occurs. The workflow ensures code quality by automatically checking if tests pass before presenting options for merge, Pull Request creation, or cleanup.

Keeping your development branch for later is supported by deferring the integration. When presented with branch integration options after test verification, simply choose to defer integration and keep the branch active.

Branch management handles the transition by streamlining the conclusion of development work. It provides clear, actionable options for integrating changes, ensuring a smooth flow from feature development to the main codebase after tests pass.
