I have a couple of branches (master, escaped), now, branch escaped has some commits that branch master doesn't have. What I want to do is to have branch master point at those commits on branch escaped without necessarily moving those commits to master. So far solutions I have seen are about moving those commits to branch master, which is not what am trying to accomplish, again I want branch master to point at commits from branch escaped. Thank you.

2Does this answer your question? How do I make a branch point at a specific commit?– snipsnipsnipCommented Feb 26, 2020 at 9:30

Can you add a schema of your current situation and one with the expected goal?– Romain ValeriCommented Feb 26, 2020 at 9:30

First you need to know git is all about pointers in a directed acyclic graph. A branch is just a pointer to a specific location (commit) in your repository. So if you want to move the master branch to the exact same commit as escaped, just move the master branch:
git checkout master
git reset escaped
