Push temporary git branch to remote without files or changes

Question

We have a git master branch. From this branch we create feature branches and merge those feature branches into master.

We need now a 'temporary' branch from where we branch off some feature branches. Those feature branches will be merged into the temporary branch.

How do I push the new 'temporary' branch (without any files or changes) too remote so others are also able to branch off this branch?

Answer 1

If I understood your problem correctly, these are the steps:

git checkout master
git checkout -b temporary
git push -u origin temporary

Then, any developer should do this:

git fetch
git checkout temporary
git checkout -b myNewBranch
