Git: Create a branch from unstaged/uncommitted changes on master

Question

Context: I\'m working on master adding a simple feature. After a few minutes I realize it was not so simple and it should have been better to work into a new branch.

Answer 1

If you are using the GitHub Windows client (as I am) and you are in the situation of having made uncommitted changes that you wish to move to a new branch, you can simply "Crate a new branch" via the GitHub client. It will switch to the newly created branch and preserve your changes.
