Say you have made some changes on a branch currently but dont want to put these changes on this branch but instead on a new branch

• First check your current status of your git

  git status
  

• Stash your changes, don't worry they wont be lost

  git stash
  

• Check your current branch status

  git branch -a
  

• Create a new branch, this will copy from current branch

  git branch <ADD YOUR NEW BRANCH NAME>
  

• Check your current branch status, see if your new branch exists

  git branch -a
  

• Switch to this new branch

  git checkout <ADD YOUR NEW BRANCH NAME>
  

• Check your current branch status

  git branch -a
  

  Your current branch will be green like so

• Bring your changes back that you stashed before

  git stash pop
  

• You will have your changes back now, confirm this by running

  git status
  

• Add all your changes for commit by running

  git add .
  

• Add a commit message

  git commit -m "<ADD YOUR COMMIT MESSAGE>"
  

• Push your changes, setting the new branch to root of your directory

  git push --set-upstream origin <ADD YOUR NEW BRANCH NAME>
  

• Your changes will now be on your remote branch
