FAQPage Schema
How do I finish a git development branch and make sure tests pass before merging?

To finish a development branch, the workflow automatically verifies that all tests pass before proceeding. It then presents structured options for code integration, ensuring quality assurance before changes are merged or submitted for review.

What is the best way to integrate a completed git feature branch into the main project?

The best way to integrate a completed feature branch is to use a guided workflow that offers multiple paths. It provides actionable choices for merging locally, creating a pull request, or preserving the branch for later code integration.

How do I manage git worktree cleanup after completing branch integration?

Worktree cleanup is handled automatically based on your chosen integration path. After you execute a merge, pull request, or branch preservation action, the workflow manages the subsequent cleanup of the development worktree.

Can I choose to preserve a development branch instead of merging it immediately?

Yes, branch preservation is a supported option. Instead of forcing an immediate merge or pull request, the workflow allows you to keep the branch for later, pausing the branch lifecycle management while maintaining your current worktree.

Does this branch management workflow require specific git dependencies or setup?

No specific dependencies are required to run this workflow. It operates as a standalone guide for branch lifecycle management, requiring only a standard git development environment to verify tests and execute code integration options.
