"I had plans for the weekend but it all went pear-shaped." - comma in the middle

Hi,

Just to make sure, I don't need a comma in the middle of the sentence cause "but it all went pear-shaped" is a dependent clause, right?

Thanks a lot in advance!

There's no need for a comma in your sentence.

No. 'But' is a coordinating conjunction.
