finishing-a-development-branch

To finalize a git development branch after tests pass, use a structured workflow that verifies tests, detects the base branch, and presents four actionable options: merge, open a pull request, keep for future work, or discard.

The best way to merge a feature branch or open a pull request is to use a guided workflow that automatically determines the base branch and presents clear finish options, ensuring you choose the correct path before executing the merge or PR.

Yes, you can automatically clean up git worktrees after merging a development branch by selecting a finish option that executes the chosen path and cleans up the associated worktrees as appropriate.

To verify tests before finishing a git feature branch, run a guarded-workflow process that checks test results and only presents finish options, such as merge or pull request, once the tests successfully pass.

When a feature is ready, your options for completing a git workflow include merging into the base branch, opening a pull request, keeping the branch for future work, or discarding it entirely.

No, this branch finishing workflow does not require specific dependencies, as it operates by determining the base branch and applying guarded-workflow requirements to verify tests and manage worktree cleanup natively.
