It is a very often need to checkout a branch and them merge there the branch that was before the checkout. Moreover after this is very often needed to push.

So please add the flags to `checkout`:
1. to merge the old branch immediately after checkout
2. to push after checkout
I repeatedly write:
git checkout stable && git merge main && git push && git checkout main
