Question

I was working on a small update on the master branch, which quickly evolved into the new version of the app. However, I wasn’t tidy enough to create a new branch from the beginning, so now I’m stuck being hugely different than the master branch and not being able to commit and collaborate.

Is there any way I can get my changes into a new branch (“labs” or something) and push them to github without affecting the stable master branch?

Thanks!

Answer 1

git checkout -b labs
git push origin labs

The syntax of the latter command being git push [remote-repository-name] [branch-or-commit-name]
