Victor PortonIt is a very often need to checkout a branch and them merge 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

Why not make a shell script to do this?

Sounds like a very sensible suggestion. "merging and then pushing immediately after" without any validation step in between is not for everybody and being able to implement such a custom workflow is why we have these individual steps as discrete commands.
Thanks.
