Have you ever used '𝒎𝒗𝒏 -𝑩 𝒈𝒊𝒕𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘:𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆-𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒈𝒊𝒕𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘:𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆-𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉'?

It is used to proceed to the release of your develop branch.

Let's see what it does behind the scene:

1️⃣ 🅵🅸🆁🆂🆃, 🅶🅸🆃 🅵🅻🅾🆆 🆂🆃🅰🆁🆃

$ 𝒈𝒊𝒕 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 1.4.0

This will automatically do the following:

2️⃣ 🆃🅷🅴🅽, 🅶🅸🆃 🅵🅻🅾🆆 🅵🅸🅽🅸🆂🅷
