I am new to Github and recently forked somebody’s project to make my own changes. Now though I learn it’s best practice to create each new feature or bug fix in a new branch. Up until now I was just editing in the Master.

How can I can create a new branch out of my Master, then replace my edited master with the upstream code repository once again?

    Assuming the upstream repo is origin…

    git branch some_feature
git reset origin/master

    Now your branch is where the remote master branch is, and your code is on the branch some_feature.
