FAQPage Schema
How do I finish a git development branch and integrate code safely?▼

A development branch workflow integrates code by verifying tests, selecting a structured integration option like merging locally or creating a pull request, and cleaning up the environment. It ensures safe code integration and clear decision-making.

What is the best way to run tests before creating a pull request?▼

Running tests before a pull request is handled through test verification, which automatically runs project tests before integration. This step confirms code stability and satisfies requirements for safe code integration.

How do I clean up a git worktree after merging a development branch?▼

Cleaning up a git worktree after merging is managed through environment cleanup, which handles worktree removal to maintain a clean development setup. This prevents clutter from accumulating after integration.

Does this development workflow support deferring code integration?▼

Yes, this development workflow supports deferring integration. It provides clear choices for merging locally, creating a Pull Request, or deferring integration, allowing flexible environment management based on your current needs.

When should I defer integration instead of merging a branch locally?▼

You should defer integration when the development work is complete but not ready for the main codebase. The workflow presents structured integration options, allowing you to postpone merging locally or creating a pull request until appropriate.
