Frequently Asked Questions about finishing-a-development-branch

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I finish a development branch and run tests before merging?▼

The skill automates finalizing a development branch by running project tests to verify code quality, then offering structured integration options like merging or creating a pull request. Worktree cleanup is handled automatically based on your chosen path.

Can I create a pull request using GitHub CLI when managing my git branch?▼

Yes, the skill optionally uses GitHub CLI to create pull requests during branch integration. It structures the PR creation process, allowing you to push completed work for code review directly after local tests pass.

What is the best way to discard local git changes and clean up the worktree?▼

The best way to discard local git changes is to select the discard option during the branch completion workflow. The skill safely removes the unwanted work and handles associated worktree cleanup to maintain a clean environment.

Do I need Git installed to automate my development workflow integration?▼

Yes, Git is a required dependency to execute branch management commands and verify local integration. GitHub CLI is only required optionally if you choose to create a pull request instead of merging locally.

Does this branch management workflow support local merging without a remote repository?▼

Yes, the branch management workflow supports local merging without a remote repository. It presents local merge as a structured integration option, allowing you to combine completed features directly within your local Git environment.
