Given the following scenario:

• the main development branch is develop
• a feature branch (f for short) is created from develop
• a pull request is opened for the implemented feature
• the new feature should land in the new release but a release branch is created from develop before the feature is reviewed and merged
• the PR gets reviewed and merged

After the f branch is merged into develop we should create a PR to the new release branch.

P.S. f branch is rebased over develop

We decided to go with a new branch from the release branch and just cherry pick the commit that we wanted. But it was because we were in a hurry and the commit was only 1. I am still wondering if there is some other easier way to do this.

What do you think will be the best and easiest way to do it?
