git add . ; git commit -m'build: bump to next version <version>'

4. wait for confirmation

At this point pause execution and ask to the user when ready to close the release, When he confirms proceed to next steps

5. close release

To close the release runs git flow release finish "<version>" -m"new release <version>" that will merge the branch release/<version> to both main and develop ones
