# Finishing a Development Branch ## Overview Verify tests, present structured options, execute chosen workflow, clean up. **Core principle:** Verify tests -> Present options -> Execute choice -> Clean up. ## Options 1. Merge back to base branch locally 2. Push and create a Pull Request 3. Keep the branch as-is 4. Discard this work (requires typed confirmation) ## Process 1. Verify all tests pass (STOP if they fail) 2. Determine base branch 3. Present exactly 4 options 4. Execute chosen option 5. Clean up worktree (Options 1 and 4 only) ## Agents Used - Process agents referenced in workflow processes ## Tool Use Referenced by `executing-plans` and `subagent-driven-development` processes.
