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

To safely finish a development branch, you can use a workflow that automatically verifies tests pass and then presents structured options for merging, creating a pull request, or cleaning up. This ensures code quality before integration.

What is the best way to manage branch integration and worktree cleanup after completing a feature?▼

The best way to manage branch integration and worktree cleanup is to use a workflow that handles test verification, branch merging or pull request creation, and associated worktree removal to maintain a clean development environment.

Do I need GitHub CLI installed to create a pull request through this development workflow?▼

GitHub CLI is an optional dependency for creating pull requests within this workflow. Git is required for core branch management, but you can still merge branches locally or discard work without the GitHub CLI.

Can I discard work and clean up a git branch if my tests fail or the feature is no longer needed?▼

Yes, you can discard work and clean up a git branch even if tests fail or the feature is no longer needed. The workflow provides options to safely discard work and handle associated worktree cleanup.

How does test verification work before creating a pull request?▼

Test verification before creating a pull request works by automatically checking if your tests pass. If successful, it guides you through structured options for code integration, ensuring only verified code is submitted for review.
