Overview

When to Use

  • After PR creation from completed work

Process

  1. Monitor CI - Watch pipeline status, triage failures
  2. Handle Comments - Respond to review feedback, make code changes
  3. Resolve Threads - Close addressed review threads
  4. Verify Readiness - Check approvals, CI green, threads resolved, coverage met

Merge Readiness Checklist (gtg)

  • All CI checks passing
  • Required approvals obtained
  • All review threads resolved
  • Coverage thresholds met
  • No merge conflicts
