finishing-a-development-branch

To finalize a git branch after tests pass, you choose from four options: merge locally, push a pull request, keep the branch, or discard changes. The workflow enforces test verification before presenting these post-implementation choices.

The best way to merge a local git branch safely is to use a structured workflow that verifies tests pass, determines the base branch, and then executes the merge. Optional cleanup is performed after the chosen merge action completes.

Finishing a development branch does not require a specific git workflow. It supports various workflows by determining the base branch dynamically and allowing local merges, pull request pushes, or discarding changes across different setups.

To discard git changes after a feature is complete, select the discard option from the four presented post-implementation choices. This action is executed with safety checks after verifying tests pass and determining the base branch.

Your pull request workflow needs test verification first because the finalization process enforces strict steps. It verifies tests pass before determining the base branch and presenting options to push a PR, merge locally, keep, or discard.
