[kwlug-disc] Github question

You shouldn't really need stash for this.  As long as you haven't committed
anything to master yet, the master branch is untainted and ready
for branching.

	git clone <site>
	cd project
	vi file # work hard, leave a mess on master but don't commit
	git checkout -b my-personal-branch
	git commit -a
	# make remote on github
	git remote add myfork <site>
	git push myfork my-personal-branch
