# This script will merge the current branch into the provided branch or release/dev branch
# and then switch back to the current branch.

# Save as quick-merge in your path (ex. ~/bin/quick-merge) and make executable, then source it from `.bashrc` or `.zshrc`
# by adding the folder to your path `export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"`
# The script can be used as a base with aliases for other branches eg. `alias mprod='quick-merge release/prod'`
