Your steps seem to imply he must use the same new_branch_name in 1) and in 5). We can simplify this by avoiding renaming the master branch. I believe it is already tracking the github's origin. So the steps can be rewritten like this: 1) git branch feature_branch_name 2) git stash 3) git fetch

Hmm... Local Repo 12 commits ahead of origin/master means, that You haven't pushed your last 12 commits to remote (@github) origin/master branch if you do: git push # what is the same as git push origin master then You'll see your changes on github. 10-09-2012 14:14, Rick DeNatale

Thanks everyone. It has taken me awhile to try this out. So what I did was file system copy my local repo and then try the techniques offered. The first one was (note I named my branch parser): 1. git branch -m master parser 2. git fetch origin 3. git branch --track master origin/master 4.
