release-it plus git-flow commands

I love the look of release-it, especially the interactive nature of the system. But my company needs a tool that offers both version management and branch management that follows the full git-flow process.

I’m considering making a fork of release-it that would support:

feature start <featureName>          // create a feature branch from develop and enforce a naming convention
feature finish <featureName>  // merge the branch into develop

release start <featureName>         // create a release branch from develop, bump ver and add -RC automatically. QA tests here.
release finish <featureName> // merge the release branch to master and remove -RC automatically
release now <featureName>         // merge develop to master with a bumped version number (skip the release branch)

fix start <featureName>                 // create a fix branch from a release branch and add -fix automatically
fix complete <featureName> // merge the fix branch to a release branch and bump version plus add -RC automatically

(Basically, mimicking git-flow cli, but keeping it all in one tool.) If I wrote this, would your team have any interest in it?
Or is there some other tool you use to manage the branches that you would suggest instead?

Sure, sounds good. I’ll try to package it that way, and give a separate PR for the “core” changes that are needed. It may be a week or so, but I’ll get back to you when it’s ready.
