Reset other branch to current without a checkout

Question

I\'m writing some scripts for my Git workflow.

I need to reset other (existing) branch to the current one, without checkout.

Before:

 Current         


        

Answer 1

The workflows you describe are not equivalent: when you perform reset --hard you lose all the changes in the working tree (you might want to make it reset --soft).

What you need is

git update-ref refs/heads/OtherBranch refs/heads/CurrentBranch
