Description
Add a git flow release branch <version> [<name>] command that merges a branch directly into main and tags it, without creating an intermediate release branch. This was available in git-flow-avh as git flow release branch.
Use Case
When release preparation is already done on develop (or another branch) and there's no need for a dedicated release branch, this command provides a shortcut to go straight to "merge into main and tag."
Proposed Behavior
# Merge develop into main and tag as v2.0.0
git flow release branch 2.0.0
# Merge a specific branch into main and tag
git flow release branch 2.0.0 some-branchThe command would:
- Merge the source branch (defaults to develop) into main
- Create a tag with the given version on main
- Not create, back-merge into develop, or delete any branch
Validations
- Source branch must exist
- Source branch must not be a git-flow prefixed branch (e.g.,
feature/foo) - Source branch must not be main itself
Flags
Same tag/merge flags as release finish: --fetch, --sign, --signingkey, --message, --messagefile, --notag, --squash.
git-flow-avh Reference
This mirrors cmd_branch() in git-flow-avh's git-flow-release (lines 763-919).
