git - move changed files to new branch + clone a pull request

[Costas]

I've been editing some files on the master branch. I'm now thinking that these changes should be on an experimental branch and not the master branch. source

git checkout -b my_new_branch
git commit

return then to 'master' branch, no changes made as all moved to 'my_new_branch' branch

git checkout master
git status

# when on master, list the *merged* branches

git --no-pager branch --merged

# list the local branches

git --no-pager branch

# list the remote branches

git --no-pager branch --remotes

# delete local branch

git branch -d <branchName>

# delete remote branch

git push --delete origin <branchName>

clone a pull request waiting for approval

git fetch origin pull/7689/head:you_name_the_local_branch-as_you_like

then checkout you_name_the_local_branch-as_you_like
