Finalizing a development branch involves verifying that all project tests pass and then choosing a structured integration path, such as merging locally or creating a pull request. This ensures code quality before integration.

Managing git worktrees after feature completion requires either cleaning up the worktree after a successful merge or preserving it if the branch is kept as-is. Your chosen integration path dictates the worktree management action.

Yes, this branch management workflow supports creating pull requests directly. It presents structured options for code integration, allowing you to choose between local merges, pull request creation, or keeping the branch as-is.

To run tests before integrating code into the main branch, you can use an automated workflow that verifies project tests automatically. This ensures code quality and safe integration before finalizing development work.

You should keep a development branch as-is instead of merging into main when you want to preserve the work without immediate code integration. This option safely discards immediate merging while keeping the worktree preserved.

Yes, you can automate both test verification and local merges in your development workflow. The process automatically runs project tests to ensure code quality and guides you through executing a local merge if chosen.
