Title: Quick option to create release from existing feature branch

Hi,
We found in our team that it is very often the same situation:
- create release branch from existing feature
- test it by CI integration
- if there are errors, let me fix them and retest
so I create one single step to create release branch from feature:
- check develop with origin,
- merge both ways: feature to develop (squashed), develop to feature
- create release

I think others can find it a nice time-saver when working in similar CI scenario.
