finishing-a-development-branch

To finalize a git feature branch, the skill verifies tests, identifies a base branch, and presents four explicit options: merge locally, push a pull request, keep as-is, or discard, with optional worktree cleanup.

The options for finishing a development branch include merging locally, pushing to create a pull request, keeping the branch for later, or discarding the work entirely, followed by optional worktree cleanup.

Yes, you can create a pull request automatically by selecting the explicit push and create a Pull Request option when finalizing a completed feature branch.

Yes, the skill requires strict test success before proceeding with any branch finalization actions to avoid broken integrations.

You can clean up your git worktree after merging by selecting a finalization option, which triggers the skill to execute the chosen action and perform optional worktree cleanup with post-action validation.

The best way to discard a feature branch is to select the explicit discard option during finalization, which executes the deletion and performs optional worktree cleanup while validating stability.
