Copy content of BranchA into BranchB  git checkout BranchA git pull origin BranchB git push -u origin BranchA

Instead of merge  as others suggested  you can rebase one branch onto another   git checkout BranchB git rebase BranchA   This takes BranchB and rebases it onto BranchA  which effectively looks like BranchB was branched from BranchA  not master

If you are using tortoise git  please follow the below steps   Checkout BranchB Open project folder  go to TortoiseGit -- gt  Pull In pull screen  Change the remote branch  quot BranchA quot  and click ok  Then right click again  go to TortoiseGit -- gt  Push   Now your changes moved from BranchA to BranchB

git checkout BranchB git merge BranchA git push origin BranchB   This is all if you intend to not merge your changes back to master  Generally it is a good practice to merge all your changes back to master  and create new branches off of that   Also  after the merge command  you will have some conflicts  which you will have to edit manually and fix   Make sure you are in the branch where you want to copy all the changes to  git merge will take the branch you specify and merge it with the branch you are currently in

This is 2 step process   git checkout BranchB   destination branch is BranchB  so we need the head on this branch  git merge BranchA  it will merge BranchB with BranchA  Here you have merged code in branch B    If you want to push your branch code to remote repo then do   git push origin master  it will push your BranchB code to remote repo

Merge the changes from BranchA to BranchB  When you are on BranchB execute git merge BranchA
