Can I recover if an integration goes wrong?

Yes, the skill includes recovery workflows using 'but oplog' and 'but undo' to restore your workspace to its state before the integration attempt.

Why does this skill use the --no-ff flag during merges?

The --no-ff (no-fast-forward) flag ensures that a merge commit is always created, which preserves the historical grouping of commits associated with a specific feature.

How does it handle stacked branches?

It follows a strict bottom-up integration pattern, merging the base features first, updating dependencies, and then merging subsequent levels of the stack.

What is a GitButler virtual branch?

A virtual branch is a GitButler-specific branch that allows developers to work on multiple features simultaneously in the same workspace without switching contexts manually.

Automates the integration of GitButler virtual branches into the main branch using guided workflows and safety checks.

Acerca de

The GitButler Complete Branch skill streamlines the final stages of the development lifecycle by providing a robust, multi-step workflow for merging virtual branches. It ensures code integrity through pre-integration checklists, automated safety snapshots, and standardized merge patterns like non-fast-forward merges. Whether working on single features or complex stacked branches, this skill manages the transition from the GitButler workspace to the main repository, handles cleanup, and provides recovery paths for merge conflicts, making it essential for teams using GitButler's virtual branching model.
