trycycle-finishing

To finish a git branch reliably, you must run tests, determine the base branch, and execute a completion workflow such as a local merge or pull request creation. This skill automates that sequence to ensure code stability before integration.

Automating a local merge involves running tests, confirming the base branch, and cleaning up the feature branch. This skill manages the final development stages by handling local merges and branch preservation while ensuring code integrity.

Creating a pull request after test verification requires determining the base branch and pushing your code. This skill runs your project tests first, then executes a pull request creation workflow upon successful verification to streamline integration.

You can safely discard work on a development branch with explicit confirmation steps. This skill supports discarding work while ensuring the main codebase remains intact and preserving branches if needed before final deletion.

Yes, this branch completion workflow supports branch preservation. Instead of automatically deleting branches after a local merge, it offers user-selected completion workflows that allow you to keep branches intact while maintaining code integrity.

You should use an automated workflow to complete a development branch when you need to ensure code quality before integration. It is ideal after finishing a new feature to automatically run tests, merge into main, and clean up.
