FAQPage Schema
How do I finalize a development branch and verify tests before merging?▼

To finalize a development branch, first verify that all tests pass, then select an appropriate base branch for integration. You can choose to merge locally, create a pull request, keep the branch, or discard it.

What are my options for finishing a feature branch after tests pass?▼

After tests pass, you have four options to finish a feature branch: perform a local merge, push and create a pull request, keep the branch as-is, or discard it. Each path includes Git commands and worktree cleanup.

How do I clean up a worktree after completing a branch merge?▼

Worktree cleanup after a branch merge is handled automatically through post-action cleanup. The process removes temporary artifacts and cleans the worktree once the selected integration or discard option completes.

When should I create a pull request instead of doing a local merge?▼

Create a pull request instead of a local merge when your workflow requires remote CI validation or code review. The finalization process presents both as explicit options once your local tests pass.

Can I discard a development branch safely if tests fail?▼

Yes, discarding a development branch is one of the four explicit continuation options. The workflow applies concrete Git commands and worktree cleanup to safely remove the branch and temporary artifacts.
