How to back up private branches in git

Question

I have a local branch for day-to-day dev work in git. My workflow is:

1. Do stuff on local_branch, commit
2. Fetch origin/master
3. Rebase local_bran

Answer 1

There's nothing wrong with pushing personal branches. It is generally discouraged because people might start work based on your branch, and when you rebase, their changes are left floating.

What I do is use a prefix to denote "this is my branch, use it on your own risk", like: fc-general-cleanup.
