To test merge conflicts safely, you can create a disposable integration branch off your feature branch. This isolates the merge process and surfaces conflicts for resolution without touching or polluting the original source branch.

You can automate integration branch creation by using a skill that creates a branch off your feature or hotfix branch and merges the testing branch into it. It auto-detects your host to select the correct target and runs build verification.

Yes, the workflow works with both GitHub and Bitbucket. It auto-detects the host platform from the remote URL, automatically selecting the staging branch for GitHub or the develop branch for Bitbucket to merge into.

The best way to surface merge conflicts before a pull request is to merge the testing branch into a disposable integration branch. This guides you through conflict resolution with prompts while keeping your original branch clean for final PRs.

No, you cannot push changes directly from the source branch. The workflow enforces safety constraints by preventing pushes from the source branch, avoiding forced updates, and requiring user approval before applying conflict resolution or pushing.

You should use a disposable branch for merge conflict resolution to keep your original feature or hotfix branch clean for final pull requests. It isolates integration work, runs build verification, and discards the branch after conflict resolution.
