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

To finish a git development branch, you can verify tests, choose an integration path like a local merge or pull request, and execute branch or worktree cleanup to finalize the workflow.

What is the best way to manage worktree cleanup after completing feature development?▼

Worktree cleanup is managed by selecting a structured branch integration option, which determines whether the worktree is preserved alongside the branch or automatically cleaned up during workflow finalization.

Can I create a pull request automatically when finalizing a development branch?▼

Yes, pull request creation is presented as a structured integration option, allowing you to execute the PR workflow directly instead of performing a local merge when concluding development work.

Do I need to run tests before merging a development branch locally?▼

Test verification is automatically checked before proceeding with branch integration, ensuring the codebase remains stable and no incomplete work is merged locally or submitted as a pull request.

What are my options for branch management if my feature is not ready to merge?▼

If your feature is not ready, you can choose to preserve the branch and worktree for later development, ensuring no work is lost while keeping the integration workflow clean.
