FAQPage Schema
How do I finalize a development branch after feature work is complete?▼

To finalize a development branch, the system verifies passing tests, determines the base branch, and presents structured options to merge locally, push a PR, keep, or discard changes.

What are the options for merging a completed feature branch?▼

Available merge options include merging locally, pushing a pull request, keeping the active branch, or discarding changes to ensure repository hygiene.

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

Yes, running tests is required. The workflow verifies that tests pass across the project before proposing any finalization actions to ensure code stability.

How do I clean up local branches after a pull request is merged?▼

Post-merge cleanup removes obsolete worktrees and branches after finalizing a development branch, maintaining repository hygiene by discarding unnecessary references and files.

What is the best way to determine the base branch for a merge?▼

Determining the base branch is handled automatically by the workflow, which identifies the correct target branch based on repository structure before presenting finalization options.

When should I discard changes instead of merging a feature branch?▼

Discarding changes instead of merging is appropriate when feature work is abandoned, allowing the workflow to safely remove the branch and maintain repository hygiene.
