How do I safely merge a completed development branch into the base branch?▼

To safely merge a completed development branch, first verify tests pass and determine the base branch, then choose the merge option from the presented choices to integrate your work and optionally clean up the worktree.

Does finishing a development branch require tests to pass before cleanup?▼

Yes, finishing a development branch enforces test verification before presenting integration options, ensuring tests pass before you can execute a merge, pull-request, or branch cleanup.

Can I create a pull request instead of a direct merge when finishing a development branch?▼

Yes, finishing a development branch presents explicit options including creating a pull request, allowing you to choose PR creation over a direct merge when integrating completed work into the base branch.

What happens to my git worktree after I finish a development branch?▼

After finishing a development branch by executing your chosen integration option, the process performs optional worktree cleanup to remove the development branch workspace if no longer needed.

When should I use a development branch finishing workflow instead of merging manually?▼

Use a development branch finishing workflow when you need structured options for safe integration across multiple branches and worktrees, ensuring test verification and base-branch determination before executing merges or pull requests.
