Make git master follow / track another local branch

We have a Git repository with a couple of branches that live side by side, e.g. branch1, branch2 and branch3. The goal is to make master always point to the same commit as the HEAD of, say, branch3.

When googling the term "branch tracking" the articles almost always concern remote tracking. Can the same be achieved for local branches?

You can try and use git symbolic-ref:

git symbolic-ref refs/heads/master refs/heads/branch3
