Merge current into target

$ git merge-into main

git merge-into target-branch

git merge-into merges the current branch into another branch without manually switching. It reverses the normal merge workflow where you would first checkout the target branch, perform the merge, then switch back.
The command checks out the target, performs the merge, then returns to the original branch automatically. This saves the repetitive workflow of switching branches for a simple merge operation.

TARGET-BRANCH
