To finalize a git development branch, you can verify all tests pass, determine the base branch, and select structured options to merge directly, create a pull request, or preserve the branch. Worktree cleanup is managed based on your chosen integration path.

Managing worktree cleanup after a development workflow depends on your integration path. The worktree is automatically handled for preservation or cleanup based on whether you choose to merge the branch, create a pull request, or keep it for later.

Yes, you can check if project tests pass before creating a pull request. The process includes automatic test verification to ensure all tests succeed before presenting structured options for branch integration or preservation.

Yes, this branch management approach works without specific dependencies. It guides the completion of development work by verifying tests, determining the base branch, and presenting integration options independently of external tools.

Determining the correct base branch for code integration is handled automatically during the workflow. The process identifies the appropriate base branch before offering structured choices to merge, create a pull request, or preserve your current work.

You should preserve a development branch instead of merging when work is not ready for full integration. The process offers branch preservation as a structured option alongside merging and pull request creation, managing the worktree accordingly.
