# Landing a branch Take a branch that is **already committed** and get it merged. `commit` ends by reporting hashes "against a clean tree" with an explicit note that nothing was pushed; this starts exactly there. Two things here are irreversible or outward-facing — opening the PR and pushing `main` — so the procedure gates each one. ## 1. Preflight ```bash git status --short # must be clean git branch --show-current # must not be main git log --oneline origin/main..HEAD ``` A dirty tree means `commit` has not finished. Nothing to land means there is nothing to do — say so rather than opening an empty PR. **Ask whether another session is live in this working tree.** Step 7 runs `git switch`, and one working tree has one HEAD, so the switch is not scoped to you — it moves the branch under anyone else working here. If someone is, stop after step 6 and let them finish. ## 2. Establish the identity before anything outward **This gates every outward action, and it is the step most likely to fail silently.** ```bash git config user.name # the includeIf identity for this root gh api user -q .login # the account gh will actually act as git remote -v # who owns the repo ``` Then `github-mcp` → `get_me` when that server is loaded, and compare every login against the repo owner. Use the tool whose account matches. On this machine `gh` is **folder-scoped** (since 2026-09-04): both shell profiles wrap it to act as the acc
