Story (Required)

As a Shipwright maintainer trying to release z-streams I want a shared release branching workflow that I can use across repos.

<Describes high level purpose and goal for this story. Answers the questions: Who is impacted, what is it and why do we need it? How does it improve the customer’s experience?>

Background (Required)

<Describes the context or background related to this story>

Create a shared GitHub workflow and starter workflow template so Shipwright repositories can quickly create release branches. The repos that actually release code can create the "real" GitHub Action workflows from the starter template.

• Implement the release branch workflow in Shipwright code repos (build, operator, cli)

Approach (Required)
