To integrate a finished git development branch after tests pass, you can use a structured workflow that validates tests and presents four deterministic options for merging, creating a pull request, or discarding the work. This ensures code stability and minimizes integration risk.

The best way to clean up a git branch after merging is to use an optional cleanup step within a deterministic post-merge workflow. This approach removes the branch safely while providing explicit safeguards and rollback notes to ensure no unintended state is left behind.

Yes, you can use a pull request workflow for your git development branch. The integration process presents a push PR option alongside local merge and discard paths, allowing you to choose the correct integration path based on your team's code review requirements.

You need to determine the base branch for a git merge when your implementation is complete and tests pass. The workflow automatically determines the correct base branch across common options before guiding deterministic post-merge workflows and optional branch cleanup.

Yes, the branch integration workflow supports rollback notes. It provides explicit safeguards and rollback instructions during the deterministic post-merge workflows, ensuring you can safely revert changes if the integration path results in unexpected codebase instability.
