FAQPage Schema

How do I finalize a development branch and merge it back to main?▼

To finalize a development branch, you need to verify test suite completion, then select a structured workflow action like a local merge or PR creation to integrate changes back to main.

What is the safest workflow for ending a development cycle?▼

A safe development workflow requires verifying that all tests have passed before offering options to merge, create a PR, or discard the branch, ensuring failing branches are never deployed.

How do I clean up local git branches after a merge process?▼

After a merge process, branch cleanup is handled by selecting the cleanup option within the workflow, which ensures proper removal of the branch only after verifying successful integration.

Can I create a pull request directly from a local development branch?▼

Yes, you can create a pull request directly from a local development branch by selecting the PR creation option provided after the verification of your test suite completion.

What happens if my test suite fails before a branch merge?▼

If your test suite fails, the branch is prevented from deployment, and the workflow will not offer finalization actions until the tests pass and the branch is verified.

How do I safely discard a development branch with unmerged changes?▼

To safely discard a development branch, you must explicitly confirm the discard action when prompted by the workflow, which ensures intentional branch deletion and prevents accidental data loss.
