[kwlug-disc] Github question

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

For some time now, I have been contributing to a project on Github.
All works well using the following workflow:
- Checkout the official project from github
- Fork the project on github
- Add my fork as a remote
- Create a local branch (say newboard)
- Make my changes locally
- git commit -a
- git push khalid newboard:newboard
- Create a pull request for the maintainer

This works well, but only if I plan it from the start (create a local
branch, ...).

But then, I did this:

- Checkout the official project
- Make considerable local changes

What I want now is to be able to commit the changes to my own local branch
and push them to my fork, without having

Is there a way to do this, without having to copy the changed and new files
somewhere, go through the first workflow, then copy them over?

Would git stash help in some way?
