git - Complete Merge/Copy/Push of a Branch -

as part of build process, need make 1 branch another. needs actual branch (tagging not option).

both branches exist. destination branch never touched other process.

this have:

git checkout destination git merge source git push

does approach? there simpler way?

edit

to clarify, end goal take snapshot of source , push remote destination. each time specific build run.

i need make 1 branch another.

git branch -f one_branch

now one_branch looks another. if want have one_branch checked out locally well, replace branch -f checkout -b.
