Frequently Asked Questions about finishing-a-development-branch

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I merge a git development branch into main after tests pass?▼

After verifying tests pass, this workflow determines the base branch and guides you through your chosen integration strategy, executing a local merge or creating a pull request to finalize the development branch.

What is the best way to clean up a git worktree after merging a branch?▼

To clean up a git worktree, this workflow handles preservation or cleanup automatically based on your chosen integration action, ensuring your codebase remains tidy after finalizing the branch.

Do I need GitHub CLI to create a pull request from a local branch?▼

You optionally need GitHub CLI to create a pull request, while Git CLI is required for executing local merges, branch preservation, and worktree cleanup during the branch completion process.

Can I keep my development branch instead of merging it into the base branch?▼

Yes, you can keep your development branch by selecting the branch preservation option, which retains the branch for future work while still managing worktree cleanup.

Why should I run tests before completing a git branch integration?▼

Running tests before completing a git branch integration verifies your feature is stable, allowing the workflow to safely proceed with local merges, pull request creation, or worktree cleanup without breaking the base branch.
