Preparing a feature branch for integration involves fetching the latest from origin, merging or rebasing the parent branch, resolving conflicts interactively, and running tests to verify a clean state before final integration decisions.

To resolve git branch conflicts before merging, fetch origin, apply a merge or rebase from the parent branch, follow interactive conflict resolution guidance, and run test validation to ensure a clean state before handoff.

Yes, the branch preparation workflow runs the appropriate test suite to verify a clean state after fetching origin, applying a merge or rebase, and completing conflict resolution before handing control to the user.

When preparing your feature branch for integration, you can choose either merge or rebase to apply parent branch updates; the workflow supports both scenarios and guides interactive conflict resolution before running test validation.

If test validation fails after rebasing your feature branch, the workflow hands control back to you for final integration decisions, ensuring you address issues before proceeding with the fetch, merge or rebase, conflict resolution, and test verification requirements.

Yes, you can use this skill to fetch origin and determine the parent branch automatically, as it executes end-to-end prep covering fetch, merge or rebase, conflict handling, and test verification for feature branches ready for integration.
