FAQPage Schema
How do I finalize a feature branch and choose between merging or creating a Pull Request?▼

Finalizing a feature branch involves selecting whether to merge locally, push and create a Pull Request, keep, or discard it. The skill guides this merge decision process by presenting structured options for branch management using git and gh.

What is the best way to manage feature branch cleanup after merging?▼

Managing feature branch cleanup requires safely deleting local branches and worktrees after completion. The skill handles this cleanup process automatically once you decide to merge, create a PR, or discard your development work.

Do I need both git and gh installed to create a Pull Request from my feature branch?▼

Yes, you need both git and gh installed to create a Pull Request from your feature branch. Git handles the local branch management and merging, while gh is required for creating Pull Requests on your remote repository.

Can I discard a feature branch if the development work is no longer needed?▼
