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

To finish a development branch, you verify tests pass, then choose an integration workflow: merge locally, create a pull request, preserve the branch, or discard the work. The skill executes the chosen workflow and cleans up the worktree.

What is the best way to manage git branch cleanup after completing a feature?▼

The best way to manage git branch cleanup is selecting an integration option after tests pass. The workflow handles worktree cleanup or preservation automatically based on whether you merge locally, open a pull request, or discard the branch.

Can I create a pull request after verifying my development branch tests pass?▼

Yes, you can create a pull request after verifying tests pass. The skill presents structured branch integration options, allowing you to select pull request creation to integrate completed code while ensuring code quality.

What should I do if my tests fail before merging a development branch?▼

If tests fail before merging a development branch, you cannot proceed with integration. The skill mandates passing tests before allowing any local merge, pull request creation, or branch preservation workflow to ensure code quality.

Does this branch integration workflow support keeping the branch instead of merging?▼

Yes, the branch integration workflow supports keeping the branch. Alongside local merges and pull requests, you can choose to preserve the current development branch and its worktree instead of discarding the completed work.
