You should create a local branch in addition to the branch that is synced with the remote repository. Having a local branch can be made by....

git checkout repobranch //now in repository branch

WARNING Make sure when you push, you only push the changes in your repobranch. You don't want to have the changes you've made in the local branch to start appearing in your remote repository
