What is the best way to manage git worktree cleanup after merging a branch?▼

Git worktree cleanup is managed automatically based on your chosen integration strategy, safely preserving or removing the worktree after you merge changes or discard the development branch.

How do I prepare a development branch for a pull request?▼

Preparing a development branch for a pull request involves running test verification, confirming the target base branch, and selecting the structured option to create a pull request for code review.

Can I discard changes on a feature branch without breaking the main codebase?▼

Discarding changes on a feature branch safely removes development work without affecting the main codebase, handling the associated git worktree cleanup to prevent leftover files.

Does this branch workflow support automatic detection of project-specific tests?▼

The branch workflow supports automatic detection and execution of project-specific tests, verifying code stability and ensuring development branches are safe for integration.

How do I determine the correct base branch for merging a feature branch?▼
