Story end (Jira)
When the user ends story work on a ticketed branch—phrases like “end story”, “story is merged”, “clean up branch after NS-…”, or they confirm the PR is merged to main—run this git sequence so local state matches the remote default branch.
1. Preconditions
- Merged: Prefer deleting the local branch only after
mainon the remote includes the story (PR merged). If the PR is not merged,git branch -dwill refuse; usegit branch -Donly when the user explicitly wants to drop unmerged work. - Uncommitted changes: Stash, commit, or discard before switching branches; do not leave a dirty tree without the user’s choice.
2. Steps (run in order)
git checkout maingit pull origin main(orgit pullifmainalready tracksorigin/mainand that is correct for this repo)git branch -d <story-branch>— use the branch that was used for the issue (first path segment should be the Jira key, e.g.NS-19-move-validation). If Git reports “not fully merged”, stop and tell the user; do not-Dunless they ask.
3. What not to do
- Do not delete
mainororigin/*. - Do not assume the remote story branch should be deleted unless the user asks (many teams keep
origin/NS-…for history or delete via GitHub UI).
4. Jira (optional)
- If the issue should move to Done (or equivalent), use Atlassian MCP when available; otherwise the user updates the board. This rule does not require Jira transitions.
