Merge multiple branches into master and create a new branch with the result

Question

I have a master branch with main code. I have created several branches which each branch have a new feature.

-> Master
-> Feature 1
-> Feature 2
...
-> Feature 80

I have an idea to create a simple web-page where the users can choose which features they want to include. Then I want to merge all selected features (branches) into the master and create a new repository on Github that the user can access.

Does anybody have any ideas if this is possible using Github's features, have any other approach on this matter or do I have to code this manually myself?

Your webapp could create a PR (Pull Request) through an GitHub API call, one PR per selected branch.

Then the "enable auto-merge for PR" feature from GitHub would automatically merge each of those PR, provided there is no conflict.
Or you can use the merge-pull-requests-automerge-action GitHub action.
